							5. Fill the smaller upper hole and the two
large ones with the corresponding plas-
tic plug caps supplied in the bag con-
taining the instruction booklet.
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 coalburning stove, an in-
sulating 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°C.
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.
This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the water supply.

							1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet
hose.
2. Connect the hose with the angled con-
nection to the machine.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards.
Angle the hose to the left or right de-
pending 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.
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is
too short and you do not wish to move the
tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer
hose specially designed for this type of use.
Installation should comply with local water
authority and building regulations require-
ments. Check the minimum water pressure
required for safe operation of the appliance
in the chapter Technical Data.

							Water-stop device
The inlet hose is provided with a water stop de-
vice, 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 oc-
cur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Serv-
ice Centre to replace the hose.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
1.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.
2.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.
3.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.
