42Installation
Positioning and levelling
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is
not impeded by carpets, rugs etc.
Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber
coating.
Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by
putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar
materials under the machine.
If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine
next to a gas cooker or coal-burning stove, an
insulating panel covered with aluminium foil on the
side facing the cooker or stove, must be inserted
between the two appliances.
The machine must not be installed in rooms where
the temperature can drop below 0.
The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be
kinked.
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard,
wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any uneven\
ness
in the floor. After having levelled the machine, tighen the lock nuts.
Water inlet
An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the
water supply.
This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
1.Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.
2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to
the machine.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle
the hose to the left or right depending on the
position of your water tap.
3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut.
After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten
the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

4.Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread.
Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.
Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations requirements. A minimum
water pressure of 0.05 MPa is required for safe
operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct
from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the
appliance from your cold water storage system. There should be a minimum verti-
cal distance of between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage
tank.
Water-stop device
The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device,
which protects against damage caused by water
leaks in the hose which could develop due to
natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a
red sector in the window “ A”. Should this occur,
turn the water tap off and refer to your Service
Centre to replace the hose.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the
plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.
In this case, make sure the end cannot come
unhooked when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece
of string or attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch.  This branch must be
above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above
the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more
than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be  ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of
the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked.
Important! The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and
joining piece is available from your local Service Centre.
Electrical connection
Information on the electrical connection is given on the rating plate on the inner
edge of the appliance door.
Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum lo\
ad
required, also taking into account any other appliances in use.
Connect the machine to an earthed socket.
The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage or
injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.
The power supply cable must be easily accessible after installing the
machine.
Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must
be carried out by a Service Centre. 
Permanent connection
In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a\
 double pole
switch between the appliance and the electricity supply (mains), with \
a minimum
gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the r\
equired
load in compliance with the current electrical regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.
This operation must be performed by a qualified electrician.
The power supply cable must be easily accessible after installing the
machine.

Building-in
This appliance has been designed to be built into
the kitchen furniture.
The recess should have the dimensions shown in
picture 
A.
Preparation and assembly of the door 
The machine is originally pre-arranged for the
assembly of a door opening from right to left.
In this case it is sufficient to screw in the hinges
(1) and the counter-magnet (6) provided with the
appliance, at the right level (Fig. B).
a) Door
The dimensions of the door should be:
- width 595-598 mm
- thickness 16-22 mm
The height (C-Fig. C) depends on the height of
the adjacent furnitures base.
b) Hinges
To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill two
holes (dia. 35 mm, depth 12.5-14 mm depending
on the depth of door furniture) on the inner side
of the door. The distance between the holes hobs
fixing centres must be 416 mm.
The distance ( B) from upper edge of the door to
the centre of the hole depends on the adjacent furnitures dimensions.
The required dimensions are given in the picture  C.
The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of screws for wood (2-Fig.  B) sup-
plied with the appliance.

c) Mounting the door
Fix the hinges (1) to the machine by means of the M5x15 screws (3-Fig. B). The
hinges can be adjusted to compensate for possible uneven thickness of th\
e door.
To align the door perfectly it is necessary to loosen the screw (3-Fig.  B), adjust
the door and tighten the screw again.
d) Counter-magnet (6)
The appliance is pre-arranged for a magnetic clo-
sure of the door. To enable a correct operation of
this device, it is necessary to screw the counter-
magnet (6) (steel disk + rubber ring) into the
inner side of the door.
Its position must correspond to the magnet (4)
on the appliance (see picture  D).
If the door has to be opened from left to right,
invert the position of the plates (7), the magnet
(4) and the plate (5) (Fig.  Band  E). Mount the
countermagnet (6) and the hinges (1) as
previously described.
