Installation
When the new washer-dryer arrives
Whether new or just transported to a new house, installation is extremely important
for the correct functioning of your washer-dryer.
After removing the appliance from its packaging, check that it
is intact. If in doubt, contact Equator immediately. The inside
of the machine is supported, for transportation, by four
shipping bolts on the back panel.
Before using the washer-dryer, remove the external
shipping bolts, remove the spacers together with the rubber
tubes attached to them (save all the parts) and use the plastic
blanking plugs provided to fill in the holes. Use the wrench
provided to remove the external bolts.
Attach the two rubber hoses provided to the red (hot) and
white (cold) water inlets on the back (top right) or the appliance.
Connect the other ends to the appropriate built-in water supplies or a
Y-adapter / Faucet Adapter combination to a single source (like a kitchen
faucet.). Using the "U"-Connector provided, place the drain hose into the
drain pipe (or the sink.) See Plumbing on Pg. 7 for more details.
Leveling
The washer-dryer must be levelled appropriately in order to
guarantee its correct functioning. To level the appliance, the front
feet must be adjusted; the angle of inclination, measured according
to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.
The front feet are self-locking & adjustable
!

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction,
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
