CONNECTION TO THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
■
The mains water pressure
must be between 0.05 and
1.00 MPa (0.5 - 10 bar.)
■
Before connecting the water
fill hose, open the valve and
allow a quantity of water to
flow. This will censure that
the supply pipes are free
from impurities, such as sand
or rust (this operation is very
important when the washing
machine is being connected
to a new supply system or if
the system has not been
used for a long period of
time).
■
Connect the water fill hose to
a 3/4 threaded cold water
outlet.
■
Place the filter washer sup-
plied between the hose and
the valve and hand tighten
the connection as much as
possible (fig. 5).
■
Connect water feed hose (fig.
6).
■
The water supply tap must be
fully open when washing.

INSTALLING THE MACHINE
After selecting a suitable position, level the machine carefully using the
adjustable feet (Fig. 4). Particular care must be taken when selecting the
position, levelling the washing machine and ensuring the safety of lock
nuts.
If levelling is not carried out correctly, the washing machine will be unsta-
ble and noisy during operation, which may result in damage.
If the machine stands on a carpet floor, make sure that air can circulate
freely between the washing machine and the floor itself.
It is not recommended that the machine be installed in locations where
the temperature is liable to drop below freezing.
■
The water drain hose must
be placed at least 60 cm and
not more than 90 cm from the
floor (fig. 7).
■
If the drain hose is connected
to a fixed drainage system,
the free end must be inserted
in a pipe of minimum inter-
nal diameter 40 mm.
■
The drain hose water con-
nection to the drainage sys-
tem must not be hermetically
sealed, as this would cause
air to accumulate and the
water to siphon out.
■
If the waste water is to be dis-
charged into a sink or wash-
basin, insert the hose in the

special bracket supplied and
hook it over the edge of the
sink or washbasin. Then tie
the hose and bracket to a tap
or similar (fig. 8). To avoid
overflowing, the sink drain
must be clear of obstructions
and must be able to empty
quickly.
