INSTALLATION

Unpacking

The parts protecting the inner components of the

the machine has to be transported again.

If you want to keep the alignment of

your appliance with the adjacent

cupboards, you have the possibility

Water connection

Water inlet hose :

is advisable to run off a certain amount of water before

connecting the machine. This will avoid foreign matter

blocking the filter placed at the end of the water inlet hose.

Water outlet hose :

Place the curved end of the outlet hose into a drain pipe

having a height between 60 and 80 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.

Connect the water inlet hose to

a cold water tap with a 3/4" gas

threaded orifice, after having

inserted the rugger sealing

washer with incorporated filter

(supplied with the machine) 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
