3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Important !
The appliance must be installed by a specialised technician according to current regulations.
The washing machine is very heavy. Take care when lifting it.
3.1 UNPACKING
The inside of the machine comprises a moving assembly which is blocked for transport purposes by the screws
(A) located at the rear of the washing machine.
1. Release the assembly by removing these screws with a 13 mm wrench.
2. Remove the screws (A) and relative spacers (B) from the back of the washing machine.
3. To prevent water from entering the machine or people from touching live components with their fingers, close
the four holes left open by the screws with the supplied plastic plugs (C).
Attention!
•
Do not turn the machine upside down and do not place it on its side.
•
Keep all the components used to block the drum assembly as they will be needed if you decide to move the
appliance in future.

3.2 POSITIONING AND LEVELLING

1. Place the appliance in the
chosen position.
2. Carefully level the machine in
all directions using a spirit
level and adjusting the height
of the feet if necessary. After
adjusting the machine, lock
the feet with the relative lock
nuts.
The water inlet and drain hoses can be turned to the right or left depending on installation requirements.
Attention!
•
Carry out this operation carefully to prevent the washing machine from vibrating, generating noise or
moving during operation.
•
If the appliance is installed on a carpeted floor, ensure that the openings on its underside are not ob-
structed.
•
Make sure the washing machine does not touch walls, furniture, etc., while it is working.

3.3 WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

1. Check that inlet pressure lies between the following values: 50-900kPa. For higher
pressures, install a pressure reducer.
2. Connect the cold water inlet hose (light blue ring nut) to the cold water tap with a ¾
gas thread, taking care to screw it firmly into place in order to prevent leaks. The water
inlet hose must not be bent or crushed and must not be replaced or cut.
3. If a hot water inlet is used, inlet water temperature must not exceed 60°C and the
hose with the red ring nut must be connected to the hot water tap.
