Levelling

Level the washing machine by loosening or tightening the
feet. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation. After
levelling the machine, secure the feet by tightening the ring
nuts with the aid of a screwdriver.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a
wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible, always
place the machine on a solid floor.

Whether discharging
into a sink or a
standpipe, check that
the end of the drain
hose is neither too high
nor too low. The top of
the curve in the hoseÕs
end should be no more
than 85 cm (34Ó) and
no less than 50 cm
(20Ó) above floor level.
Special conditions
If the floor is carpeted with a deep-pile carpet or covered
with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid support base
under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or displacement.
The base should protrude a few centimetres beyond the
edges of the machine.
Warning
The machine should NOT be placed directly on deep pile
carpeting.
Note
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.

IN THE INTEREST OF THE
ENVIRONMENT
Washing machines and dishwashers should be connected
to the FOUL drainage system, the water will then be taken
to a sewage works for treatment before being discharged
safely into a river.
It is essential that these appliances are not connected to
the surface water drainage system as this water is
discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause
pollution.
