Installation and removal
Whether new or just transported to a new house,
installation is extremely important for the correct
functioning of your washing machine.
The hook to be used in case the
drain hose ends at a height below
60 cm.
If the drains hose empties into a
tub or sink then fit the plastic
guide and secure it to the tap.
The guide for draining into tubs and
sinks.
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 appliances
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 appliances 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.
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 four 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.
The front feet are adjustable.
Connection to the water
mains
Water pressure must range within the
values indicated on the data plate
on the rear of your washing
machine. If the water pipes are
new or left unused, then before
connecting the machine run the
water until clear to remove
debris. Connect the inlet hose to
a cold water tap having a ¾ BSP
thread. Ensure that the rubber
sealing washers are fitted at each
end of the inlet hose, with the fitter
washer at the tap end.

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.
Warning!
The company denies
all liability if and
when these norms are
not respected.
Plastic bags,
expanded styrofoam,
nails and other
packaging parts are
not childrens toys,
and are potentially
dangerous.
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.
