3. INSTALLATION

3.1. Unpacking

Packing used to protect internal parts of the
washing machine during transport must be
removed before the washing machine is put
into service for the first time.
Remove all packing from the
washing machine. Tilt the washing
machine sideways and then remo-
ve the packing under the motor,
and straighten the washing machi-
ne.
Tilt the washing machine back-
wards, rotate it by a quarter of a
turn on one of its corner to remove
the transport base.
Open the washing machine lid and
remove the immobilization packing
and plastic films.
Close the lid.
Use a 10 mm spanner to remove
the two screws and spacers at the
back.
You can now see the openings that
must be closed with the caches in
the pack attached to the washing
machine; do not forget to fold down
the central capsule.
Make sure that you have removed
all these parts from your washing
machine and keep them so that you
can use them again if you need
them for future transport.

3.2. Position

Put the washing machine on a flat hard floor in a well ven-
tilated room.
Make sure that your washing machine does not touch the
wall or any other furniture in the room.

3.3. Moving your washing machine

3.4. Leveling

Precise leveling will prevent vibrations, noise and move-
ments of the washing machine during operation.

3.5. Water inlet

Please install the water inlet hose onto the back of your
washing machine:

If you want to keep your washing
machine aligned with the adjacent
furniture, you can cut the pipe sup-
port strip at the back of your
washing machine. Leave the two
side closers in place.
If you want to move your washing
machine, lift it onto its rollers by
pulling the lever at the bottom of the
washing machine all the way to the
left. When you have put your
washing machine into the required
location, put the lever back into its
initial position.
Make the washing machine level
by adjusting the leveling screw that
is too short.
Unscrew the stand and locking col-
lar assembly (lift the washing ma-
chine if necessary).
When the washing machine is sta-
ble, maintain the stand on the
ground and turn the locking collar
as far as posible.
- Insert the seal in the hole at the
bottom of the back panel (fig. 1).
- Screw on the bottom fitting of the
water inlet hose as shown in fig. 2
and fig. 3.
