INSTALLATION |
t |
•Install the appliance on a solid and level floor surface, preferably in a corner of the room.
•Make sure that all four feet are resting firmly on the floor and check that the appliance is perfectly level (use a spirit level).
•If the floor is uneven, adjust the levelling feet as required (do not insert pieces of wood, cardboard etc. under the feet).
Adjust the feet:
•Adjust the right foot by turning it by hand to assure that all four feet touch properly the floor.
If the appliance is to be installed on a wooden floor, distribute the weight by placing it on a 60 x 60 cm sheet of plywood at least 3 cm in
thickness. Secure the plywood sheet to the floor.
WATER SUPPLY
•Water supply: only cold water.
•Tap: 3/4” threaded hose connector.
•Water pressure (mains pressure): 100-1000 kPa (1-10 bar).
INLET HOSE
•Carefully screw the inlet hose to the tap.
•Turn the tap on fully and check that the joints at the washing machine and the tap are watertight.
•Make sure that there are no kinks in the hose and that it is not crushed.
•If the hose is not long enough, replace it with a suitable length of pressure-resistant hose (approved under EN 500 65 to withstand a minimum of 1000 kPa).
•Check the hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace if necessary.
•The washing machine may be connected without a non-return valve.
•Observe any special local regulations regarding connection to the water supply.
