Installation

Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies the washing machine to inform the new owner as to its operation and features.

! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking

1. Unpack the machine.

2. Check whether the machine has been damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer.

Levelling

Your machine will be noisy if the two front feet are not adjusted so that the machine stands firm and level. ! The machine should be levelled from side to side and from front to back.

1. Move your machine into its final location.

- Take care not to trap or kink the hoses.

2. Turn one or both front feet anti-clockwise by hand until the feet cannot be turned any more. When adjusting the feet, use a spirit level to check the machine stands level, from side to side

and from front to back.

- The spring on each foot will stop them coming loose. ! If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for ventilation beneath the machine.

Water connection

Connecting the water inlet hose. Remember that this is a cold-fill machine.

! Check that seal is in place inside the hose end cap.

2. STOP when 3 threads can be seen.

3. Hold, slide sideways and pull to remove.

4. For safety, insert one of the the plastic covers (supplied with your machine) over the hole. ! Repeat steps 1 to 4 to remove the second transit bolt. ! Packaging materials are not children’s toys.

Before making the water connections to gas ¾ thread, allow the water to run freely from the supply tap until it is perfectly clear.

Screw the inlet end with the blue cap onto the cold water supply tap.

Turn the taps on and check for leaks: tighten if necessary.

! Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose. ! The water pressure at the tap must be within the

values indicated in the Technical details table (next page). ! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

! Always use new hoses. ! Check the water hose at least once a year, replace

any that are cracked as worn hoses could split under water pressure.

Drainage connections

The free end of the hose should not be under water.

! We advise against the use of hose extensions. In case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150cm in length.

A. Connect the drain hose, without kinking it, to a draining duct or a wall drain fixed at a height between 65 and 100cm from the floor.

B. Alternatively, place it over the edge of a basin, sink or tub, fastening the hose supplied to the tap.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle without detergent and no laundry, setting the 90°C programme without a pre-wash cycle.
