Installation and removal
When the washer
arrives
Whether new or just transported to a new house,
installation is extremely important for the correct
functioning of your washing machine.
After removing the appliance
from its packaging, check that it
is intact. If in doubt, contact a
qualified technician immediately.
The inside of the machine is
blocked, for transportation, by
four screws on the back panel.
Before using the washing
machine, remove the screws,
remove the rubber with the aid
of the special spacer (keeping all
the parts) and use the plastic tabs
provided to fill in the holes.
Important: Use the cap (provided)
to close the 3 holes which housed
the stop pin, situated in the right-
hand part of the lower back of the
washing machine.
Levelling
The washing machine must be
levelled appropriatey in order to
guarantee its correct functioning.
To level the appliance, the front
feet must be adjusted; the angle
of inclination, measured according
to the worktop, must not exceed
2°. When placed on carpet, make
sure the ventilation is not
hampered within its surroundings.
The front feet are adjustable.
Do not throw the
blocking screws and
the spacers away. In
the event of a removal,
they can be used to
block the components
inside the appliance
again and so to protect
it during transport.
Connection to the water
mains
Connect the supply pipe to the
water mains using a gas 3/4
attachment, fitting the rubber
gasket supplied with the
appliance and ensuring that they
are fimly tightened to the taps.
The water supply marked C must
be connected to the cold water
tap; the pipe marked H must be
connected to the hot water tap.
Both pipes may be connected to
the cold water tap using the
special Y connection with multi-
ple attachments, supplied with
the appliance.
The rubber gasket.
If the water piping is new or has
been unused for some time, run
the water before making the
connection until it is quite clear.
Remember that impure water
may damage the washer.
Connect the other end of the
pipe to the appliance, at the top
on the right, by the water
connection.

Connecting the drain
hose
There are two hooks (right or
left) on the rear of your washing
machine to which the drain hose
is to be fixed. Insert the other
end in a duct or place it on the
edge of a sink or tub avoiding
excessive kinks and bending. It
should be placed at a height
ranging from 60 to 100 cm. In
case it is necessary to fix the end
of the hose at a height below 60
cm from the ground, it must be
fixed in the appropriate hook
placed on the upper part of the
back panel.

hose ends at a height below 60 cm.
If the tube drains into a tub or
sink, apply the plastic guide and
tie it to the tap.

sinks.
It must never remain immersed
in water.
Extensions are unadvisable. In
case of absolute need, the
extension must have the same
diameter as the original hose and
must not exceed 150 cm. In case
of wall draining pipes, their
efficiency must be checked by a
qualified technician. If the
dwelling is on one of the upper
floors of a building, there may be
drain trap problems causing the
washing machine to load and
unload water continuously.
In order to avoid such an
inconvenience, special anti-drain
trap valves are available in shops.
Electric connection
Before connecting the appliance
to the electric socket, be sure
that:
1) the electric socket is able to
sustain the appliance’s
maximum power load
indicated on the data plate
and in compliance with the
law;
2) the supply voltage is included
within the values indicated
on the data plate;
3) the socket is compatible with
the appliance’s plug. If not,
do not use adapters, but
replace either the socket or
the plug;
4) electric household appliances
must be equipped with an
“earthing” system.
Warning!
The company denies
all liability if and
when these norms are
not respected.

expanded styrofoam,
nails and other
packaging parts are
not children’s toys,
