INSTALLATION
BE CAREFUL : The parts protecting the inner components of the machine during transit are red. They must all be removed before using your machine for the first time. In order to avoid possible damage to the appliance, it is indispensable to take away the polystyrene basis, the two red loosened spacers at the back of the appliance and the polystyrene wedge (follow the instructions of the unpacking sheet). Close imperatively the 2 holes left by the 2 spacers with the plugs provided with the appliance ; do not forget to put on the central cover.
Installation
The floor must be clean and dry, free from floor polish and other greasy substances, so that the machine does not slide about. Do not use any grease as lubrification. Installation on deep pile carpets and floor coverings with foam backings is not recommended, as the stability of the machine is no longer guaranteed. If the installation must be done on a carpetedfloor, the openings located at the lower part of the back of the appliance must remain free. These openings ensure a good ventilation of your applicance. In case of small format tiles, place a standard rubber mat under the machine. With sprung floors, in particular wooden plank floors with yielding floor boards, screw down a waterproof wooden base at least 15 mm thick, across at least 2 floor boards. Wherever possible, place the appliance in the corner of the room - there wooden floors are most secure and least liable to resonance vibrations. Never compensate for small unevennesses in the floor by placing wood, pasteboard or such like. The front adjustable feet must be blocked after installation of the appliance by means of the locking nuts.
Electrical connection
Before fitting the plug into the wall socket, check the following points : 1) The supply voltage of the domestic wiring system does not fluctuate by more that 10%, plus or minus, from 230 V. 2) The meter, the fuses, the supply line and the wall socket are suitable to carry the maximum load required by the machine (2,3 kW). Very important : The washing machine is provided with a feeding wire with earth connection: it must be connected to a plug like that is provided with a good earth connection. The replacing of the power cord must only be realized by the After Sales Service. The manufacturer declines any responsibility where the previous recommendations are not followed.
Water connection
Levelling
It is essential that your machine is absolutely level. Raise or lower the front feet of the machine ; tighten the nuts of the feet with an adjustable wrench. Also make sure that the machine does not touch the wall, the furnitures, etc. during the functioning in order to avoid vibrations, noise or displacements of the appliance during operation.
Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4" gas threaded orifice, after having inserted the rugger sealing washer into the hose collar. If the water connection is made onto new pipes or onto pipes which have not been used for a long time, it is advisable to run off a certain amount of water before connecting the machine. Place the curved end of the outled hose into a drain pipe having a height between 70 and 100 cm from floor level or secure it to a sink or bath tub. Make sure that the drain hose is firmly secured so that it will not slip out or fall down from its position. The water should drain freely and, consequently, the drain hose should not be choked or placed in such a way as to obstruct the normal water flow. If an extension hose is required, remember that it might cause a malfunction in the drain pump, particularly if the extension has a length in excess of 1 meter or if the diameter of the extension is smaller than the diameter of the original drain hose.
Moving of the appliance
To move your washing machine, put it on its wheels by turning from the right to the left the special level located at the bottom of the appliance. Once the machine placed at the chosen place, bring back the lever to its initial position.
