Always insist on genuine spare parts. 25 UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION TRANSIT SECURITY BARS Before starting the machine up, the transport security bars must be removed as follows: You are advised to keep all the transport security bars in case the appliance has to be transported again. Unscrew and remove the three rear screws by means of a key. 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. 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) Fig. 6), 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. 2. Lean the appliance back on the rear and fit one of the polystyrene angles between the appliance and the floor. Carefully remove the plastic bags on the right and the left, pulling them to the centre of the appliance. Now tighten the nut anew to avoid leaks. Accurate levelling will prevent vibration, noise and displacement of the appliance during operation.
