Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make
sure that air circulation around the machine
is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check
that the machine does not touch the wall or
other kitchen units. Level the washing ma-
chine by raising or lowering the feet. The feet
may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a
self locking nut, but the machine MUST be
level and stable. If necessary, check the set-
ting with a spirit level. Any necessary adjust-
ment can be made with a spanner. Accurate

or similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.
Water inlet
Warning! This appliance must be
connected to a cold water supply.
1. Connect the water inlet hose supplied
with the machine to a tap with a 3/4
thread. Always use the hose supplied
with the appliance.
Important! Do not use the hose from
your previous machine to connect to the
water supply.
2. The other end of the inlet hose which
connects to the machine can be turned
as showed in the picture.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards.Angle the hose to the left or right depend-
ing 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.
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.
Important! Before connecting up the
machine to new pipework or to pipework that
has not been used for some time, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have collected in the pipes.
