is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check
that the machine does not touch the wall or
other kitchen units. Level the washing ma-
chine 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 op-
eration. Never place cardboard, wood or
similar materials under the machine to com-
pensate for any unevenness in the floor.
If necessary, check
the setting with a
spirit level.
Water inlet
An inlet hose is supplied and can been found
inside the machine drum. Do not use the
hose from your previous machine to connect
to the water supply.
This appliance must be connected

• Open the porthole and extract the inlet
hose.
• Connect the hose with the angled con-
nection to the machine. Do not place the
inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to
the left or right depending on the position
of your water tap.
• Set the hose correctly by loosening the
ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose,
be sure to tighten the ring nut again to
prevent leaks.
• Connect the hose
to a tap with a
3/4” thread. Al-
ways use the
hose supplied
with the appli-
ance. Be sure to
tighten the ring
nut to prevent any
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-stop device
The inlet hose is provided with a water stop
device, which protects against damage
caused by water leaks in the hose which
could develop due to natural ageing of the
hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in
the window «A» . Should this occur, turn
the water tap off and refer to your Service
Centre to replace the hose.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned
in three ways:
Hooked over the
edge of a sink us-
ing the plastic
hose guide sup-
plied with the ma-
chine.
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.
