Installing Your Washing Machine Please read and follow the instructions carefully. • In addition to the instructions mentioned here, special regulations of the relevant water and power supply companies may apply. If in doubt, have the appliance connected by a qualified technician.
Moving and Installing Removing the Anchor Bolts Four anchor bolts keep the interior of the washing machine in place while it’s being moved. They need to be removed before installation. Use a spanner (not supplied) and following the instructions below. Don’t run the washing machine without removing the bolts, as this can cause excessive vibration.

Water Drain Hose Points to remember: • Don’t twist, pull out or bend the drain hose.
Preparation Read the following to understand how best to prepare your laundry for washing. Organising Laundry • Read the washing label on each garment to help you sort your washing into different loads. • Sort the laundry by colour, type of fabric and by how soiled it is. This will help you choose the correct programme and temperature for each wash.

How to Use Laundry Starch Laundry starch makes your clothes crisp in texture. Synthetic laundry starch is a stiffening agent. • To use laundry starch, simply add it to the softener compartment, next to where you add detergent. It will automatically be applied to your clothes as part of the final rinsing cycle. • If it’s hard to pour, you can dilute the starch slightly with water before adding it to the softener compartment.
