reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or
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 washing machine has been
damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not
install it and contact your retailer.

Situated one either side of the
rear panel, BOTH transit bolts
MUST be removed before use.
! Failure to do so may cause
damage to your machine.
It is important the transit bolt
and spacer come out intact (see
pic).
1. Use a crosshead screwdriver
to remove the yellow plastic
cover.
2. Unscrew the bolt using a
13mm spanner.
3. STOP when 3 threads can be
seen.
4. Hold, slide and pull to
remove.

For safety, replace both plastic covers over the holes
left by removing the two bolts.
! Packaging materials are not children's toys.
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor,
without resting it up against walls, cabinets etc.
2. Compensate for any unevenness by tightening or
loosening the adjustable front feet. The angle of
inclination, measured according to the worktop must
not exceed 2°.
Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with
stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting
during operation. 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 washing
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.
