Installation

!

 This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for 

future reference. If the washer-dryer is sold, given away or 
moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, 
so that the new owner may benefit from the advice 
contained within it.

!

 Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital 

information relating to the safe installation and operation of 
the appliance.

!

 Inside the pack containing this manual, you will also find 

the guarantee and all the details necessary for installation.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Once you have removed all the packaging from the 
washer-dryer, make sure it has not been damaged during 
transportation. 
If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not 
proceed any further with the installation process.

2. Remove the 4 protective 
screws (used during 
transportation) and the 
corresponding spacer, 
located on the rear part of 
the appliance (

see figure

). 

3. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs supplied in the 
pack.
4. Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will be needed 
again if the washer-dryer is moved to another location, to 
prevent the inside of the appliance being damaged.

!

 Packaging materials should not be used as toys for 

children.

Levelling

1. Place the washer-dryer on a flat sturdy floor, without 
resting it up against walls or cabinets.

2. If the floor is uneven, the 
front feet of the machine 
may be adjusted until 
it reaches a horizontal 
position (the angle of 
inclination must not exceed 
2 degrees). 

!

 If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable 

and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise while it 
is operating, particularly during the spin cycle.

!

 If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a 

way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath 
the washer-dryer. 

Connecting the electricity and water 

supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

!

 

Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply, run 

the water until it is perfectly clear.

1. Connect the inlet hose 
to the machine by screwing 
it onto the cold water inlet 
of the appliance, which is 
situated on the top right-
hand side of the rear part of 
the appliance

 (see figure)

.

2. Connect the inlet hose 
by screwing it to a cold 
water tap using a 3/4 gas 
threaded connection 

(see 

figure)

.

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

!

 The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values 

indicated in the Technical data table 

(see page 5).

!

 If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised 

shop or an authorised technician.

!

 Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; use the 

products supplied with the machine.
