Installation
Siting
A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface
for a washing machine, as it is far less prone to vibration
during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or carpeted
surfaces.
The machine must be level and securely positioned. The
distance between the machine and wall must be more than
10 cm .
To avoid vibrations during spinning. the machine should not
be installed on soft floor coverings.
Level adjustment
The machine must stand perfectly level on all
four feet to ensure safe and proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase electricity
and water consumption and may cause the
machine to move about.
To level the machine:
Use a spanner to turn the locknut in a clockwise
direction. Then turn locknuts together with adjust feet to unscrew.
Use a spirit level to check the machine is standing level.
Hold adjust feet securely with a pipe wrench. Turn locknut again using the spanner until it sits
firmly up against the housing.
Vibration and noise may occur if the locknuts do not sit
firmly up against the housing.
Drain hose connection
1.
Direct to sink
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in
the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink entering the washing machine.
If required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 4 m.
Use process
Locknuts
Adjustable feet
Installation
2. Connected securely to a standpipe
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the "U" piece supplied.
Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately
30mm thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top fo the standpipe is no more than 90cm and
no less than 60cm above floor level.
Water inlet connection
Connect the inlet hose supplied with the machine to a tap with a 3/4" thread.
Do not use existing hoses.
Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations ' requirements.
When there is an inlet valve at the back of the machine, it must be connected to a cold water
supply. If there are two inlet valves, one should be connected to a cold water supply and the other
connected to a hot water supply. Follow the picture below to complete the connection.
Use process
inlet valve for cold water
inlet hose for cold water with a white nut
