the machine does not touch the wall or other
kitchen units. Level the washing machine 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.
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.
If necessary, check the
setting with a spirit
level.
Water inlet
Connect the water inlet hose supplied with the
appliance to a tap with a 3/4" thread.
Do not use already employed inlet hoses.
The other end of the inlet hose which connects
to the machine can be turned in any direction.
Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and
retighten the fitting, making sure there are no
water 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.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in
three ways:
Hooked over the
edge of a sink using
the plastic hose
guide supplied with
the machine. In this
case, make sure the
end cannot come
unhooked when the
machine is emptying. This could be done by
tying it to the tap with a piece of string or
attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch
must be above the trap so that the bend is at
least 60 cm above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not
less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain
pipe must be larger than the outside diameter
of the drain hose.
