Installation

!

 This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place 

for future reference. If the washing machine is sold, given 

away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with 

the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the 

advice contained within it.

!

 Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital 

information relating to the safe installation and operation of 

the appliance.

!

 Inside the pack containing this manual, you will also find 

the guarantee and all the details necessary for installation.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Once you have removed all the packaging from the 

washing machine, make sure it has not been damaged 

during transportation. 

If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not 

proceed any further with the installation process.

2. Remove the 4 protective 

screws (used during 

transportation) and the 

corresponding spacer, 

located on the rear part of 

the appliance (

see figure

). 

3. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs supplied in the 

pack.

4. Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will be needed 

again if the washing machine is moved to another location, 

to prevent the inside of the appliance being damaged.

!

 Packaging materials should not be used as toys for 

children.

Levelling

1. Place the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor, without 

resting it up against walls or cabinets.

2. If the floor is uneven, the 

front feet of the machine 

may be adjusted until 

it reaches a horizontal 

position (the angle of 

inclination must not exceed 

2 degrees). 

!

 If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable 

and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise while it 

is operating, particularly during the spin cycle.

!

 If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a 

way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath 

the washing machine. 

Connecting the electricity and water 

supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

!

Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply, run 

the water until it is perfectly clear.

1. Connect the inlet hose 

to the machine by screwing 

it onto the cold water inlet 

of the appliance, which is 

situated on the top right-

hand side of the rear part of 

the appliance

 (see figure)

.

2. Connect the inlet hose 

by screwing it to a cold 

water tap using a 3/4 gas 

threaded connection 

(see 

figure)

.

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

!

 The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values 

indicated in the Technical data table 

(see next page).

!

 If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised 

shop or an authorised technician.

!

 Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; use the 

products supplied with the machine.

65 - 100 cm

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose to 

drain duct piping or a wall 

drain located between 65 

and 100 cm above the floor, 

making sure it is not bent 

at all.

Alternatively, rest the 

drain hose on the side of 

a washbasin or bathtub, 

fastening the duct supplied 

to the tap 

(see figure). 

The free end of the hose 

should not be underwater. 

!

 We advise against the use of hose extensions; if it is 

absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same 

diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm 

in length.

Electrical connections 

Before plugging the appliance into the electricity socket, 

make sure that:  

•  the socket is earthed and complies with all applicable 

laws;

•  the socket is able to withstand the maximum power load 

of the appliance as indicated in the Technical data table

(see opposite);

•  the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated 

in the Technical data table

 (see opposite);

•  the socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. 

If this is not the case, have the socket or the plug 

replaced.

!

 The machine must not be installed outdoors, even in 

covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the 

appliance exposed to rain, storms and other weather 

conditions.

!

 The mains socket must remain within easy reach after the 

washing machine has been installed. 

!

 Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

!

 The cable should not be bent or compressed.

!

 The power supply cable and plug must only be replaced 

by authorised technicians.

Warning! The company shall not be held responsible in the 

event that these regulations are not respected.
