Installation Unpacking All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appli- ance. Using the supplied spanner, unscrew and remove the 2 rear bottom screws. Slide out the 2 plastic pins. Lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses.
Set the machine upright and remove the remaining rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin. Plug the open holes with the plugs which you will find in the plastic bag containing the instruction booklet. You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.
Installation Water inlet Connect the water inlet hose to a separate tap with a 3/4" thread. 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.
The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised.
