Installation

Transit packing

After removing the packing, check the appliance for damage.

If you have any doubts do not use the washer and call a quali-

fied technician. Keep the packaging components (plastic bags,

polyester foam, nails etc.) out of the reach of children since

they could be dangerous. The interior of the washer, has an

oscillating unit which is fixed on the back by 3 screws during

transport (fig. 3). Before starting up the washer, release the

unit, by unscrewing the 3 screws. Seal the screw holes with

the plastic plugs supplied with the appliance.

Levelling

The washer must be perfectly levelled. To level the appliance,

only the front feet need to be adjusted (see fig. 4); remember

that the inclination of the working surface must not be more

than 2 degrees. If the washer is installed on a carpeted floor,

check that there is sufficient ventilation space between the

floor and the bottom of the washer.

Water supply

Both hot and cold water supplies are preferable and they

should be between 34.5kN/m²(5lb/in²) and 1034.2kN/m²

(150lb/in²) pressure. The hose having the red end fitting

should be encountered between the hot supply and the

threaded connection adjacent to the letter H on the rear of

the machine. The hose having the white end fittings should

be connected between the cold supply and the threaded

connection adjacent to the letter C on the rear of the ma-

chine (see fig. 5). Remember to insert a sealing washer at

each connection to ensure watertight joints. Do not

overtighten the connections by using tools -hand tight is

sufficient to prevent leaks. It is generally more convenient to

have these supplies away from the sink taps. Where no

suitable hot water supply is available or it does not meet

these requirements, both inlet hoses may be connected to a

cold supply by using two taps etc., or a «T» junction on the

plumbing (see fig. 6) however, use of cold water only will

increase programme times.

Note: the maximum temperature should not exceed 70°C

(158°F).

Drain hose

The drain hose (hooked pipe) is secured to the rear of the

machine by support clips and may be routed to right or left

as required (see fig. 7). The drain hose should be placed in a

stand pipe with a minimum internal diameter of 38 mm (1½

inches) or it can be positioned over a sink (see fig. 8) or it

can be connected as shown in fig. 9. The height of stand

pipe or sink should be between 60 and 100 cm (24 and 40

inches). Care must be taken that the hose is not obstructed,

twisted, submerged or kinked. If the hose is connected with

an airtight joining, provision should be made to prevent

syphoning.
