Water supply Install the supplied water inlet hose at the rear of your washing machine by proceeding as follows. Do not reuse an old hose. The water inlet hose can not be extended. If it is too short, please contact the after-sales service. 1 2 Open the water inlet tap. Check there are no leaks. Drainage Fit the U-piece on the drainage hose. Place everything in a drainage point (or in a sink) at a height of between 70 and 100 cm. Ensure it is positioned securely. Air must be able to enter the end of the hose, to avoid any risk of siphon- ing. The drain hose must never be stretched. If it is too short, contact an engineer. Electrical connection This washing machine must only be connected in single-phased 230 V. Check the fuse size: 13 A for 230 V. The appliance must not be connected with an extension lead or multi-plug adaptor. Ensure that the plug is earthed and that it is in accordance with current regulations. Positioning Position the appliance on a flat and hard surface in a ventilated location. Ensure the appliance does not come into contact with the wall or other furni- ture. To move your appliance, proceed as follows: Place it on its rollers by pulling the lever located at the base of the appli- ance hard from right to left. Once the appliance is in the desired posi- tion, push the lever back to its original position. Accurate levelling avoids vibrations, noise and prevents the appli- ance from moving when running.
