Installation

Remove the transit fixings

IMPORTANT: Follow these instructions to remove the
TWO transit fixings (see Description for location).
Situated one either side of the
rear panel, BOTH transit bolts
MUST be removed before use.
! Failure to do so may cause
damage to your machine.
It is important the transit bolt
and spacer (see pic) come out
intact.
1. Unscrew the bolt using a
13mm spanner.
2. STOP when 3 threads can
be seen.
3. Hold, slide sideways and pull
to remove.
4. For safety, insert one of the
the plastic covers (supplied
with your machine) over the
hole.
! Repeat steps 1 to 4 to remove the second transit
bolt.
Did you know?...
...the transit fixings are fitted to ensure that your machine is undamaged during delivery.
...both of the transit fixings must be removed before using the machine, not doing so will lead to
excessive vibration, movement of the machine and could eventually lead to internal damage.
...the majority of problems with noisy machines are due to the transit fixings not being removed,
closely followed by the feet not being adjusted correctly to level the machine.
...you will be charged for a service engineers visit if a problem with your machine is caused by incorrect
installation or misuse.
! Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Location

Where you install your machine will affect its
performance:
! For your safety and to comply with electrical
regulations, seek professional advice if you want to
install your machine in a bath or shower room.
Make sure that the electrical socket and water
taps are easily accessible. You should switch off
the machine's electrical and water supplies when
you are not using it for extended periods.
Make sure that you allow enough space for the
machine. Select a space at least 60cm wide,
60cm deep and 85cm high. Also leave enough
space to open the door fully, so that you can load
and unload it easily.
Where possible, the machine should be positioned
on a solid floor to minimise vibration.
! Take care when you move the machine not to rip
any floor coverings. The weight of the machine may
cause indentations in some floor coverings.

Levelling

Your machine will be noisy if the two front feet are not
adjusted so that the machine stands firm and level.
! The machine should be levelled from side to side
and from front to back.
1. Move your machine into its final location.
- Take care not to trap or kink the hoses.
2. Turn one or both front feet
anti-clockwise by hand until the
feet cannot be turned any more.
When adjusting the feet, use a
spirit level to check the machine
stands level, from side to side
and from front to back.
- The spring on each foot will
stop them coming loose.
! If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the
feet in such a way as to allow enough room for
ventilation beneath the machine.
