Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the
machine is not impeded by carpets,
rugs etc. Check that the machine does
not touch the wall or other kitchen units.
Level the washing machine by raising or
lowering the feet. The feet may be tight
to adjust as they incorporate a self
locking nut, but the machine MUST be
level and stable.
If necessary, check the setting with a
spirit level.
Any necessary adjustment can be made
with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration,
noise and displacement of the machine
during operation.Never place cardboard,
wood or similar materials under the
machine to compensate for any
unevenness in the floor.
Special conditions
If the floor is carpeted or covered with
crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid
support base under the feet to prevent
noise, vibration or displacement. The
base should protrude a few
centimetres beyond the edges of the
machine.
Warning !
The machine should NOT be placed on
deep pile carpeting.
Water inlet
An inlet hose is supplied and can been
found inside the machine drum. Do not
use the hose from your previous
machine to connect to the water supply.
1. Open the porthole and extract the
inlet hose.
2. Connect the hose with the angled
connection to the machine.
Do not place the inlet hose
downwards. Angle the hose to the
left or right depending on the
position of your water tap.
