moved, make sure the instruction manual
accompanies the washing machine to inform the new
owner as to its operation and features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital
information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking

2. Check whether the machine has been damaged
during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and
contact your retailer.

children's toys.

Levelling

Your machine will be noisy if the two front feet are not
adjusted so that the machine stands firm and level.
! The machine should be levelled from side to side and
from front to back.
1. Move your machine into its final location.
- Take care not to trap or kink
the hoses.
2. Turn one or both front feet
anti-clockwise by hand until the
feet cannot be turned any more.
When adjusting the feet, use a
spirit level to check the machine
stands level, from side to side
and from front to back.
- The spring on each foot will stop them coming loose.
! If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the
feet in such a way as to allow enough room for
ventilation beneath the machine.

Water connection

Connecting the water inlet hose.
Remember that this is a cold-fill machine.
! Check that seal is in place
inside the hose end cap.
Before making the water connections to gas ¾ thread,
allow the water to run freely from the supply tap until it
is perfectly clear.
Screw the inlet end with the blue
cap onto the cold water supply
tap.
Turn the taps on and check for leaks: tighten if
necessary.
! Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.
! The water pressure at the tap must be within the
values indicated in the Technical details table (next
page).
! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
! Always use new hoses.
! Check the water hose at least once a year, replace
any that are cracked as worn hoses could split under
water pressure.
