6. Fill the smaller upper hole and the two
large ones with the corresponding
plastic plug caps supplied in the bag
containing the instruction booklet that
you will find inside the drum.
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.
Carefully level by screwing the
adjustable feet in or out.  The machine
MUST be level and stable.
If necessary, check the setting with a
spirit level.
Any necessary adjustment can be made
with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration,
noise and displacement of the machine
during operation. Never place
cardboard, wood or similar materials
under the machine to compensate for
any unevenness in the floor.  After having






levelled the machine, tighten the lock
nuts.
Water inlet
An inlet hose is supplied and can been
found inside the machine drum. 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 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 looseningthe 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.
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.

Place the drain hose into your stand-
pipe, which should have an internal
diameter of approximately 38mm thus
ensuring there is an air break between
the drain hose and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe
ensure that the top of the standpipe is
no more than 90cm (35.4) and no
less than 60cm (23.6) above floor
level.
The drain hose may be extended to a
maximum of 4 metres. An additional

If your drain hose looks like this (see
below) you do not require the “U”
piece”. Just push the hose firmly into
the standpipe.
2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.
If the outlet spigot has not been used
before, remove any blanking plug that
may be in place.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot
and secure with a clip, ensure a loop is
formed in the drain hose (see diagram)
to prevent waste from the sink entering
the washing machine.

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)
supplied 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 com-
pensate for possible uneven thickness
of the door.
To align the door perfectly it is neces-
sary to loosen the screw (3-Fig. B),
adjust the door and tighten the screw
again.d d)

The appliance is pre-arranged for a
magnetic closure 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 pic-
ture 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. B and E). Mount the counter-mag-
net (6) and the hinges (1) as previously
described.
Recommendations regarding the
construction and fitting of a base
when the installation requires an
integrated appliance to be raised.
Where the appliance has been raised
by mounting onto a wooden base pro-
vided by the installer. The material used

to construct the base should have a
non slip surface, be water repellent and
if possible be one solid piece.
If it is not possible to use one solid
piece, due to the additional height
required, ensure that any additional
strips of timber are glued and screwed
to the underside of the base (see Fig.
F).
Drill four fixing holes see Fig. G.
Position the base into the recess with
its front edge as far forward as the
adjoining plinth line will allow. 
The reason for placing the base in
this position is to allow a small
strip of beading to be fitted in front
of the appliance feet.
Fix the base firmly to the floor using
four appropriate countersunk screws
(see Fig. H).
With the appliance installed adjust all
four feet ensuring the machine is sta-
ble, and a clearance of approximately 5

mm is left between the top of the
machine and the underside of the
worktop.
A final check for stability should be car-
ried out with the machine on spin with
a load, this will identify the need for any
further fine adjustment to the feet.
A strip of beading approximately 605
mm W, x 5 mm H, x 25 mm D must be
screwed down into the base directly in
front of the machine’s feet, this will pro-
vide additional security.
If required an additional door magnet,
part number 1242394-00/3 and disc,
part number 1242393-00/5 are avail-
able from spare parts.
