60 cm (23.6”) and not more than 100 cm (39.3”).

Refer to the illustration.

• The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated ,

i.e. the inner diameter of the drain pipe (min. 38 mm

- min. 1.5”) must be larger than the external

diameter of the drain hose.

Drain hose end

• If the end of the drain hose looks like this (see the

picture), you can push it directly into the stand pipe.

To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill two holes

(dia. 35 mm, depth12.5-14 mm depending on the depth

of door furniture) on the inner side of the door.

The distance between the hole fixing centres must be

416 mm. The distance from upper edge of the door to

the centre of the hole depends on the adjacent

furniture's dimensions.

The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of screws

for wood 1 and 2 supplied with the appliance.

Washing Machine User Manual 15

Mounting the door

Warning! Do not remove the

screw B.

Fix the hinges to the appliance by means of the M5x15

screws.

The hinges can be adjusted to compensate for possible

uneven thickness of the door.

To align the door perfectly it is necessary to loosen the

screw, adjust the door and tighten the screw A again.

Counter-magnet

Warning! Do not remove the

screw B.

The appliance is pre set for a magnetic door closure. To

position the closure correctly, it is necessary to screw

the counter-magnet A (steel disk + rubber ring) into the

inner side of the door.

Its position must correspond to the magnet B on the

appliance.

Warning! Do not remove the

screw B.

If the door has to be opened from left to right, invert the

position of the plates E, the magnet D and the plate C.

Mount the counter-magnet D and the hinges A as

previously described.

How to activate the child

safety device

This device prevents children or pets from being

closed in the drum.

Turn the device clockwise, until the groove is

horizontal.

You cannot close the door.

To close the door, turn the device anticlockwise

until the groove is vertical.

Installation on suspended

flooring

Suspended wooden floors are particularly

susceptible to vibration.

To limit vibration we recommend placing a

waterproof wooden panel, at least 15 mm thick,

under the appliance. It should be screwed to at

least 2 floor beams and should extend beyond

the front feet.

If possible, install the appliance where the floor

is more stable.
