Unpacking

1. Remove the external film. If necessary, use a cutter.
2. Remove the cardboard top and the polystyrene packaging materials.
3. Open the door. Remove all the items from the drum.
4. Put the front polystyrene packaging element on the floor under the appliance. Carefully put down the appliance onto its rear side.
5. Remove the polystyrene protection from the bottom. Put the appliance back into an upright position.
6. Remove the power supply cable and the drain hose from the hose holders.
   It is possible to see water flowing from the drain hose.
   This is because the washing machine has been tested at the factory.

8. Put the plastic cap that you find in the user manual bag on the holes.

 We recommend that you keep the packaging and the transit bolts for any transport of the appliance.

Information for installation

Positioning and levelling

Adjust the appliance correctly to prevent vibration, noise, and movement of the appliance when it operates.

1. Install the appliance on a flat hard floor. The appliance must be levelled and stable. Make sure that the appliance does not touch the wall or other units, and that there is air circulation below the appliance.
2. Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the level. All feet must rest firmly on the floor.

Warning: Do not put cardboard, wood, or equivalent materials below the appliance feet to adjust the level.

The inlet hose

Caution! Make sure there is no damage to hoses and there are no leaks from the couplings. Do not use an extension hose if the inlet hose is too short. Contact the service centre for a replacement inlet hose.

1. Connect the water inlet hose to the back of the appliance.
2. Position it toward the left or right, depending on the position of the water tap. Make sure that the inlet hose is not in a vertical position.
3. If necessary, loosen the ring nut to set it in the correct position.
4. Connect the water inlet hose to the cold water tap with a 3/4” thread.

Water drainage

The drain hose should stay at a height of no less than 60 cm and not more than 100 cm.

You can extend the drain hose to a maximum of 400 cm. Contact the authorised service centre for the other drain hose and the extension.

It is possible to connect the drain hose in different ways:

1. Make a U shape with the drain hose and put it around the plastic hose guide.
2. On the edge of a sink – Fasten the guide to the water tap or to the wall. Make sure that the plastic guide cannot move when the appliance drains, and the drain hose end is not immersed in the water. There may be a return of dirty water into the appliance.
3. If the end of the drain hose looks like this (see the picture), you can push it directly into the standpipe.
4. To a standpipe with a vent-hole – Insert the drain hose directly into a drain pipe. Refer to the illustration. The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inner diameter of the drain pipe (min. 38 mm – min. 1.5″) must be larger than the external diameter of the drain hose.
5. Without the plastic hose guide, to a sink spigot- Put the drain hose in the spigot and tighten it with a clamp. Refer to the illustration. Make sure that the drain hose makes a loop to prevent particles from going into the appliance from the sink.
6. Position the hose directly to a built-in drain pipe in the room wall and tighten it with a clamp.

Installation on suspended flooring

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.

To limit vibration, we recommend placing a waterproof wooden panel, at least 15 mm thick, under the appliance. It should be screwed to at least 2 floor beams and should extend beyond the front feet.

If possible, install the appliance where the floor is more stable.
