Installation

Levelling

Level the appliance by loosening or tightening

the feet. Once in the right position fix the feet by

pushing the nuts against the base of the case.

Accurate levelling will prevent vibration, noise

and displacement of the appliance during

operation.

Some vibration is inevitable, especially if placed

on a wooden floor. Wooden floors are

particularly susceptible to vibrations. For advice,

consult a builder. If posible always place the

appliance on a solid floor.

Hydraulic connection

There should be a COLD WATER tap near the

washing machine with a screwing on connection

pipe of 3/4 gas for the water supply, a sink, a

wash basin or a drainage system in the wall.

Previously check if:

Ñ it is not a hot water tap.

Ñ the running water is clean. If not, run off a

reasonable amount of water to flush out any

debris that may have collected in the pipes.

Have the permanent drainage system in the wall

checked by a plumber.

Place the enclosed rubber joint, delivered in a

plastic bag together with the appliance (A), at the

very end of the inlet hose and carefully screw the

pipe to the tap taking care not to damage the

screwdrive and fix the nut well on to the end in

order to avoid leaking.

If necessary turn the hose adequately by

unscrewing the nut at the rear of the appliance.

Now tighten the nut anew to avoid leaks. (Open

the tap and asure that it does not leak and close

it again.)

Place the discharging hose in a washbasin or

sink with the aid of the bent piece delivered

separately. The bent piece has to be entered into

the tubeÕs mouth in order to assure the support.

Aforesaid piece allows the hose to be fixed to the

wall by means of an opening on the upper part

and that way the hose does not move and its

falling is avoided.
