							Positioning and levelling
x 4
Level the appliance by raising or lowering the
feet.
The appliance MUST be level and stable on a
flat hard floor. 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 appliance during op-
eration.
Repeat the levelling action, if the appliance is
not level and stable.
Water inlet
Connect the hose to
a tap with a 3/4”
thread.
35°
45°
Loosen the ring nut to angle the hose to the
left or right depending on the position of your
water tap. Do not place the inlet hose
downwards. After positioning the inlet hose,
be sure to tighten the ring nut again to pre-
vent leaks.
Water drainage
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain
hose using the plastic hose guide supplied
with the appliance .
The end of the drain hose can be positioned
in four ways:
•Hooked over the edge of a sink using
the plastic hose guide.
8
 
www.zanussi.com 
						

							Tie the plastic hose guide to the tap with a
string to prevent that the drain hose unhooks
when the appliance is emptying.
•Onto a sink outlet spigot.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and se-
cure with a clip, ensure a loop is formed in
the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink
entering the appliance.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before,
remove any blanking plug that may be in
place.
•Directly into a drain pipe at a height of
not less than 60 cm and not more than
100 cm.
MAX 100cm
The end of the drain
hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the
inside diameter of the
drain pipe must be
larger than the out-
side diameter of the
drain hose. The drain
hose must not be
kinked.
If your drain hose
looks like this (see
beside) you do not
require the “U”
piece”. Just push the
hose firmly in to the
standpipe.
•Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the
room wall.
The drain hose may be extended to a maxi-
mum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose
and joining piece is available from your Local
Centre.
