Smeg LBI147 Washing Machine
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BUILT-IN WASHING MA- CHINES
IMPORTANT –
This machine complies with current safety regulations govern-ing electrical
appliances and, to ensure user safety, it must be installed by a qualified
technician as required by current legislation
Size of cabinet
The minimum dimensions of the cabinet are:
a height of 820 mm, a width of 600 mm, and a depth of 584 mm (fig. 1).
Applying the panel
The panel may be attached to the left- or right-hand side of the washing
machine (fig. 2)
The machine is supplied fitted for a left-hand side panel attachment as the
right-hand side is fitted with the push-pull lock (upper part) and the rubber
pad (lower part). Should you wish to use the magnetic lock instead of the
push-pull lock, remove the push-pull lock support and fit the supplied
magnetic lock support.
Important! Before fitting the panel (removing all the hinge and locking
elements from the front) make sure the washing machine is totally disconnected
from the mains power supply.
Warning – To fix the panel on the right-hand side (direction of opening
opposite to that of the door) dismount the push-pull lock (or the magnet lock)
from the front of the machine and the rubber pad (fig. 3-A) and fit them on
the opposite side (fig. 3-B).
All the elements applied to the front of the washing machine must be remounted
correctly (no holes must remain open) in order to make it impossible to touch
live components inside the machine.
Our company declines all liability for failure to observe the above safety
requirement.
Using the tem-plate
-
Measure the height of the kitchen baseboard: the height of the wooden panel is obtained by first establishing the height of the kitchen baseboard.
E. g.: for a 100 mm high baseboard, the maximum height of the panel is 720 mm. If the height of the baseboard must be increased, the height of the wooden panel must be reduced. -
Place the template of the inner side of the panel and match the height of the baseboard with the lower edge of the panel (fig. 4) using the graduated scale. Make sure the template is horizon-tally centered with reference to the vertical lines marked at the ends.
After placing the template in the correct position, trace the positions of the following holes, pushing in with the tip of your pencil:
- holes for the hinges and hinge screws (fig. 4)
- holes for fixing the metal plate (if the magnetic lock is used), or the hook for the push-pull lock (fig. 4, A – B)
Applying the panel elements and fixing the panel
- Drill the holes for the hinges (fig. 5), the hook for the push-pull lock (fig. 5), or the metal plate if you decide to use the magnetic lock (fig. 6), and the holes for fixing the hinges (fig. 6).
- The 13 mm depth of the 2 mm holes, for fixing the hinges and a metal plate for the magnet lock, only applies to the solid wood panel. For the chipboard panel, simply drill the upper coating – fig. 6.
- Screw the two hinges to the panel (fig. 7)
- Mount the hook for the push-pull lock or the metal plate for the magnet lock on the side opposite the hinges (fig. 7).
- Fix the panel to the washing machine following the instructions shown in fig. 8.
Adjusting the hinges
If, after applying the panel to the washing machine, it is slightly inclined or off-center with respect to the front of the machine, correct its position by adjusting the mobile part of the hinges (fig. 9).
Positioning the washing machine in the cabinet
Position the washing machine in the cabinet and, if necessary, adjust the feet
to level it and lock them with the relative locknut. On appliances with
adjustable rear feet, refer to the operator’s manual.
To prevent the vibrations generated by the washing machine from being
transmitted to the cabinet, make sure the sides and top do not touch the
cabinet.
There must be a gap of at least 2 mm. The back of the machine must also
remain detached from the rear panel.
If the cabinet is 870 mm high, the washing machine height-ening kit on sale
from the Spare Parts Service, must be used.
To comply with safety legislation, any gaps between the floor and the bottom
of the baseplate and between the floor and the sides of the machine when it is
positioned at the end of a line of furniture must be completely closed.
The cover must be installed in such a way as to make it
impossible to touch live components and a tool must be required to remove
it. Our company declines all liability for failure to observe the above safety
requirement.
Applying the baseboard
It must be possible to remove the continuous kitchen baseboard to allow the
drain pump to be cleaned if necessary.
In some cases, the baseboard is not continuous but limited to the width of the
washing machine. In this case, the kitchen baseboard can be fixed to the
washing machine baseboard with 4 screws, respecting the 4 reference marks (see
fig. 9-10-11). When applying the kitchen baseboard, the washing machine
baseboard may not be removed or adapted as, for reasons of safety, it must
remain as it is, in one piece and fixed to the washing machine.
