INSTALLING THE WASHING MACHINE

WATER CONNECTION

The mains water pressure must be between 0.05 and 1.00 Mpa

(0.5 - 10 bar.)

• Before connecting the washing machine, open the valve and allow a certain

quantity of water to  ow out in order to clean the pipes of any sand or rust. This

operation is particularly important in the case where the washing machine has

been left standing for a long time or when connecting to a new water supply

system.

• The  ll hose must be connected to the mains supply using a ¾” threaded

connection.

N.B. On electronic washing machines  tted with a dual solenoid valve (hot and

cold water), connect the red hose to the hot water supply valve and the other

hose to the cold water supply valve.

If a hot water supply is not available, both hoses must be connected to the cold

supply using the  tting supplied (see  g. 8)

• Connect the  ll hose ( g. 9).

N.B. Washing machines and condensation type washer/driers must be

connected to the mains water supply using the new hoses provided with the

appliance. The old hoses must not be re-used.

• During the wash, the water supply valve must be fully open.

• The drain hose must be positioned at a height of between 60 cm and 90 cm

( g. 10).

• If the water is drained directly into the drainage system, the free end of the drain

hose must be inserted in a pipe of internal diameter not les than 40 mm.

• The drain hose connection to the drainage system must not be hermetically

sealed, as this would cause a build up of air in the siphon and allow water to leak

out.

If the wash water is drained into a washbasin, sink or other similar system, the free

end of the hose must be reinforced at the bend using the bracket supplied with

the washing machine. Place the hose over the edge of the washbasin and anchor

the bracket in such as manner that prevents the hose from falling ( g. 11). The

washbasin outlet must be clean and must allow the water to  ow freely.

In the under-worktop versions, screw in the feet until the spring is fully compressed, thus allowing the appliance to be

installed under the worktop (Fig. 6B).
