Important !
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in
case the machine is to be transported again.
In case of moving out the same precautions as per
paragraph “The dangers of freezing” must be taken i.e.
the residual water in the hoses must be pumped out.
Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not
impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine
does not touch the wall or other kitchen units.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under
the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.
Your new washing machine has been designed to be
permanently plumbed in to your home’s water supply
and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it
may be connected to suitable existing tap with the drain
hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has one inlet hose, with female 3/4” BSP
thread connector. If this connection is not compatible
with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety
of connectors are available from good hardware stores
and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic
plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing
must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified
plumber.
Installation on a Suspended Floor
Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you
place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick
under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams
with screws.If possible install the appliance in one of
the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be removed
before using the appliance
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in
case the appliance has to be transported again.
n
Unscrew and remove the three rear transit bolts
(using a spanner).
n
Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure
that the hoses are not squashed.
We suggest a polystyrene angle bracket from the
packing is placed on the floor before tilting it back
to avoid the hoses being spacers.
n
Carefully remove the polyethylene bags located at
the base of the machine by pulling them toward the
centre of the machine.
n
Place the machine in an upright position and
remove the three plastic spacers.
