3.3 POSITIONING AND LEVELLING 

 

1.  Screw the 4 feet (supplied) 

onto the underside of the 
washing machine with the 
relative lock nuts and place 
the appliance in the required 
position. 

 
2.  Carefully level the machine in 

all directions using a spirit 
level and adjusting the height 
of the feet if necessary. After 
adjusting the machine, lock 
the feet with the relative lock 
nuts. 

 
 

The water inlet and drain hoses can be turned to the right or left depending on installation requirements. 

 

Attention! 

 

Carry out this operation carefully to prevent the washing machine from vibrating, generating noise or 
moving during operation. 

 

If the appliance is installed on a carpeted floor, ensure that the openings on its underside are not 
obstructed. 

 

Make sure the washing machine does not touch walls, furniture, etc., while it is working. 

 

3.4 WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION 

 
1.  Check that inlet pressure lies between the following values: 

50-900kPa

. For higher 

pressures, install a pressure reducer. 

 

2. Connect 

the 

cold water

 inlet hose (

light blue

 ring nut) to the cold water tap with a ¾ 

gas thread, taking care to screw it firmly into place in order to prevent leaks. The water 
inlet hose must not be bent or crushed and must not be replaced or cut. 

 

3. If 

hot water

 inlet is used, inlet water temperature must not exceed 60°C and the 

hose with the 

red

 ring nut must be connected to the hot water tap. 

 

Attention! 

 

If the water pipe is new or has not been used for a long time, let a certain amount of water run before 
attaching the inlet hose. This stops any deposits of sand and other impurities from clogging the filters used 
by the machine to protect the water inlet valves. 

 

3.5 DRAIN CONNECTION

 

 

1.  Insert the end of the drain hose into a drain pipe having an internal diameter of at least 4 cm and a height 

ranging between 50 and 90 cm, or attach it (using the relative curved plastic profile) to a basin or bath tub. 

 

  

 

 

2.  Always check that the end of the drain hose is securely attached in order to prevent the repulsive force of the 

water from moving it out of position.
