INSTALLATION

Unpacking

The parts protecting the inner components of the ma-
chine during transit are red. They must all be removed
before using your machine for the first time. These
parts and their securing means should be kept in case
the machine has to be transported again.
1. Unpack the appliance. Tilt the appliance backwards. Give
to one of the back corners a quarter turn. The appliance
comes free naturally out the polystyrene basis. Take away
this basis (fig.1).
Fig.1
2. Open the lid of the appliance and remove the polystyrene
wedge which blocks the drum. Close the lid (fig.2).
3. On the back part and with a spanner, remove the two red
loosened spacers (A) (fig.3).

tion.

5. Please ensure that these
parts have been removed from
the machine and keep them in
case of next transport (fig.5).
Nota : you can unscrew
washers, spacers and screws
using a spanner.
If you want to keep the alignment
of your appliance with the adja-
cent cupboards, you have the
possibility to cut the crossbar
holding the hoses located at the
back of your washing machine
(fig.6).

Water connection

Water inlet hose :
not been used for a long time, it is advisable to run off a
certain amount of water before connecting the machine.
This will avoid foreign matter blocking the filter placed at the
end of the water inlet hose.
Water outlet hose :
Place the curved end of the outlet hose into a drain pipe
having a height between 70 and 100 cm from floor level or
secure it to a sink or bath tub. Make sure that the drain hose
is firmly secured so that it will not slip out or fall down from
its position.
The water should drain freely and, consequently, the drain
hose should not be choked or placed in such a way as to
obstruct the normal water flow. If an extension hose is
required, remember that it might cause a malfunction in the
drain pump, particularly if the extension has a length in
excess of 1 meter or if the diameter of the extension is
smaller than the diameter of the original drain hose.
