Installation

Levelling the machine
The machine must be installed on a sound and firm
surface, and must not be touching walls or furniture.
Adjust the feet to level the machine. Make sure the
machine is standing on all four feet. After levelling
the machine, secure the feet by tightening the ring
nuts (Fig. 1).
Some vibration is normal and unavoidable when the
machine is spinning the load, particularly if the floor
is not a concrete one.
When the appliance location is on carpet floors,
attention must be paid so as to ensure that
there is no obstruction to the bottom vents.
Water intake
Insert the combination rubber washer/filter and
connect the intake hose to a tap with a 3/4" pipe
thread. If necessary, use the restrictor supplied
(1/2") (Fig. 2).
The intake hose must not be joined onto any form
of extension hose. If it is too short, the entire hose
must be replaced with a longer high-pressure hose,
specially designed for the purpose.
The machine end of this hose can be turned in any
direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the hose,
then retighten the nut (Fig. 3).
