Location
IMPORTANT!
Install the washer on a solid and level floor surface ensuring it has at least 20mm
clearance on each side. The washer must not be installed on any soft or textured floor
coverings (eg carpet, rugs).
Note: This washer must not be installed and operated on a plinth.
WARNING! When relocating your washer, first remove the detergent drawer. This will
avoid any spillage of detergent from tipping the appliance.
Levelling the washer
It is IMPORTANT to level the washer to ensure good spin
performance, and to minimise noise, vibrations and wear
and tear on the washer.
Before positioning the washer in its final position, check
1
that it is level, front to back and side to side.
Adjust the product into its final position (we suggest a
2
minimum clearance of 20mm each side).
Use a spirit level to check that the washer is correctly
3
level. If needed, pull the washer out. Loosen the lock nut
using the spanner provided and wind the feet up or down
to correctly level the washer.
Using the spanner provided, tighten the lock nuts against
4
the base of the washer to lock the feet in position.
Connecting to the water supply
Inlet hoses
IMPORTANT!
Use new hose sets provided with the washer to connect
● ●
the washer to the water mains.
Old hose sets should not be re-used.
● ●
We recommend the inlet hoses are changed every 5 years.
● ●
WARNING: Failure to do so may result in a flood and damage to property.
● ●
Connect the straight ends of the inlet hoses to the taps.
1
Connect the elbow ends to the corresponding washer inlet
2
valves. The hot valve is coloured orange to make this easier.
Tighten the inlet hose ends by hand until the hose seal just
3
makes contact with the tap sealing face. Continue to tighten
a further half-turn. Make sure there are no kinks in the
hoses.
Turn the taps on and check for leaks. Check for leaks again
4
after 24 hours.
