In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the washer should be installed on a floor
equipped with a drain. Draining must comply with local by-laws.
Installing Drain hose
1 Remove the cap of the drain hose outlet. Note: A small amount of
water may come out when the cap is removed. This is normal as
there maybe some water left in the pump as the machine is tested
during manufacture.
2 Connect the drain hose to the connection point on the lower right
side of the cabinet rear, and fasten with drain hose clamp (provided).
Place the drain hose in a tub or standpipe
The hose guide is used to hold the drain hose over the tub or standpipe.
20 mm
max.
If the drain hose is placed on the ground or if the tub or standpipe is less than 900mm
high, the washer will continuously drain (siphon) while being filled.
Tub or standpipe height should be a minimum of 900mm.
Regularly check that your tub or standpipe is free from lint or other obstructions. This may
affect operation or cause flooding.
If in future the product needs to be moved, disconnect the drain hose to prevent damage.
Have a towel handy to absorb residual water, then refit the drain cap. Place the drain hose
inside the drum during transportation, and storage.
The pump filter cap on the lower rear of the machine is not to be removed by anyone other
than a trained service technician.

LEVELLING THE WASHER

Levelling instructions
It is IMPORTANT to level the washer to ensure good spin performance.
Your washer is equipped with adjustable feet at the front. Ensure they do not move once you
have levelled your washer by hand-tightening the locknuts on each of the feet.
After levelling, the corners of the washer should be clear of the floor and the washer must not
rock in any direction.
Move the washer to its final position allowing for required clearances.
