Unscrew and remove the three rear screws by means of a key. P0287 Lean the appliance back on the rear and fit one of the polystyrene angles between the appliance and the floor. Make sure the hoses are not squashed. P0018 arefully remove the plastic bags on the right and the left, pulling them to the centre of the appliance. 1 2 AL009 Place the machine in an upright position and remove the three plastic bolts. (Fig. 4). Plug the 3 holes with the plastic plugs which you can find in the envelope containing the instruction booklet. (Fig. 5). P0001 P0002 Fig. 4 Fig. 5 22 Levelling Level the appliance by loosening or tightening the feet. Once in the right position fix the feet by pushing the nuts against the base of the case. Accurate levelling will prevent vibration, noise and displacement of the appliance during operation. Some vibration is inevitable, especially if placed on a wooden floor. Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibrations. For advice, consult a builder. If posible always place the appliance on a solid floor. P0254 P0509 Hydraulic connection There should be a COLD WATER tap near the washing machine with a screwing on connection pipe of 3/4 gas for the water supply, a sink, a wash basin or a drainage system in the wall. Previously check if: -- it is not a hot water tap. -- the running water is clean. If not, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes. Have the permanent drainage system in the wall checked by a plumber. Place the enclosed rubber joint, delivered in a plastic bag together with the appliance (A), at the very end of the inlet hose and carefully screw the pipe to the tap taking care not to damage the screwdrive and fix the nut well on to the end in order to avoid leaking. If necessary turn the hose adequately by unscrewing the nut at the rear of the appliance. Now tighten the nut anew to avoid leaks. (Open the tap and asure that it does not leak and close it again.) Place the discharging hose in a washbasin or sink with the aid of the bent piece delivered separately. The bent piece has to be entered into the tube's mouth in order to assure the support. Aforesaid piece allows the hose to be fixed to the wall by means of an opening on the upper part and that way the hose does not move and its falling is avoided. P0021 A AL013 P0022 23 IMPORTANT: The distance from the floor to the highest part of the hose should be between 60 to 90 cm. (It is advised to be between 60 and 70 cm). The hose must not be bent nor twisted to avoid clogging. Should a prolongation of the discharging hose be unavoidable this must never surpass 1.5 m and must be of the same diameter as the original hose. Make sure the hoses are not too tense. 1,5 m. Max. 60 cm. Min. P0023 Electrical connections The applicable rules for electrical security require an adequate earthing. The plug of the appliance is provided with such a device. Make sure your socket outlet is provided with an adquate earthing too. The manufacturer declines any liability in case of accidents or incicents should these safety measures not be observed. Before plugging the appliance make sure that: 1º the mains of your installation is the same as on the rating plate of your appliance (the plate is sticked to the rear of the appliance). 24 2º The meter, the fuses, the wiring and the socket outlet can support the max. power absorbed stated on the rating plate. 3º The socket base and the plug must fit in adequately without any reducing interposition, multiple outlets or adapters. If necessary replace the socket outlet by an adequate one. (Never touch the washing machine or any electric appliance while standing on a wet floor or being barefoot.) 90 cm.
