Installation instruction
Transit security bars
Before starting the machine up, the transport
security bars must be removed as follows:
You are advised to keep all the transport
security bars. In case the appliance has to be
transported again.
1. Unscrew and remove the three rear screws
by means of a key.
2. Open the porthole and remove the
polystyrene block fitted with adhesive tape
on the door seal.
3. Place the machine in an upright position
and remove the three plastic bolts.
4. Plug the 3 holes with the plastic plugs which
you can find in the envelope containing the
instruction booklet.
Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make
sure that air circulation around the machine is
not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that
the machine does not touch the wall or other
kitchen units. Level the washing machine by
raising or lowering the feet. Once in the right
position fix the feet by pushing the nuts against
the base of the case. The feet may be tight to
adjust as they incorporate but the machine
MUST be level and stable.
If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during
operation.Never place cardboard, wood or
similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if
mounted on a wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly
susceptible to vibration. For advice, consult a
builder. If possible, always place the machine
on a solid floor.
Water inlet
There should be a COLD WATER tap near the
washing machine with a screwing on connection
pipe of 3/4" for the water supply, a sink, a wash
basin or a drainage system in the wall.
Previously check if:
- it is not a hot water tap.
- the running water is clean. If not, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have collected in the pipes.
Have the permanent drainage system in the
wall checked by a plumber.
