Instructions for installation and electrical connection Safety instructions for the installer • This appliance is heavy, care should be taken when moving it. • When unpacking the appliance, check that it is not damaged. If in doubt, do not use it and contact the retailer. •...
Installation Unpacking All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses. This can be avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces between the machine and the floor.
Positioning Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. • Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating. • Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar materials under the machine.
Installation 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”.
Installation Permanent connection In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current electrical regulations.
