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
3 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
Connect the supply pipe to the
water mains using a gas 3/4
attachment, fitting the filter and
rubber gasket supplied with the
appliance and ensuring that they
are fimly tightened to the taps. The
water supply marked C must be
connected to the cold water tap; the
pipe marked H must be connected
to the hot water tap. Both pipes may
be connected to the cold water tap
using the special Y connection with
multiple attachments, supplied with
the appliance.
If the water piping is new or has
been unused for some time, run
the water before making the
connection until it is quite clear.
Remember that impure water may
damage the washer. Connect the
other end of the pipe to the
appliance, at the top on the right,
by the water connection.
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.
Electric connection
Before connecting the appliance
to the electric socket, be sure that:
1) the electric socket is able to
sustain the appliance's
maximum
power
load
indicated on the data plate
and in compliance with the
law;
2) the supply voltage is included
within the values indicated on
the data plate;
3) the socket is compatible with
the appliance's plug. If not, do
not use adapters, but replace
either the socket or the plug;
4) electric household appliances
must be equipped with an
"earthing" system.
Warning!
