Installation and removal
When the new
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
supported, for transportation, by
four screws on the back panel.
Before using the washing
machine, remove the screws,
remove the spacers together with
the rubber tubes attached to them
(keeping all the parts) and use the
plastic plugs 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 reduced.
Retain the transit screws,
spacers and washers.
Should you move house
then these should be
replaced to support the
inside of the machine to
prevent damage when
transporting the machine.
Connection to the water
mains
Water pressure must range within
the values indicated on the data
plate on the rear of your washing
machine. If the water pipes are new
or left unused, then before
connecting the machine run the
water until clear to remove debris.
Connect the inlet hose to a cold
water tap having a ¾ " BSP thread.
Ensure that the rubber sealing
washers are fitted at each end of
the inlet hose, with the fitter washer
at the tap end.
A
Connect the inlet hose to the
threaded connector on the
machine rear.
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 stand pipe 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. If 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.
If the drains hose empties into a
tub or sink then fit the plastic gui-
de and secure it to the tap.
The end of the drain hose must
be positioned so that it cannot
become submerged.
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.
