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 machine is to be transported again.
Using a spanner unscrew and remove the rear right bolt.
Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the
hoses are not squashed.
Remove the polystyrene base and take off the bottom
panel by unscrewing the central screw. Carefully slide
out the right polythene bag.
Repeat the operation for the left and central polythene
bags.
Re-fit the bottom panel using the 4 screws supplied with
the door hinges (in the plastic bag) and the previously
removed screw.
Set the machine upright and remove the two remaining
bolts from the back.
Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes into
which the bolts were fitted.
Plug the open holes with the plugs supplied with the
instruction booklet.
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.
