							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 unevenness
in the floor.
Water inlet
An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
Do not use the already employed hoses 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 distance of between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of
the water storage tank.
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 heightof 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.

injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.
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 required
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.
