Location
IMPORTANT!
Install the machine 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 textured floor
coverings (eg carpet, rugs).
Note: this machine must not be installed and operated on a plinth.
Levelling the machine
It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure good spin
performance, and to minimise noise, vibrations and wear
and tear on the washer.
Before positioning the machine in its final position, check
1
that the machine is level, front to back and side to side.
Manoeuvre the product into its final position (we suggest a
2
minimum clearance of 20mm each side).
Use a spirit level to check that the machine is correctly
3
level. If needed, pull the machine out. Loosen the lock nut
using the spanner provided and wind the feet up or down
to correctly level the machine.
Using the spanner provided, tighten the lock nuts against
4
the base of the machine to lock the feet in position.
Connecting to the water supply
Inlet hoses
IMPORTANT!
New hose sets provided with the washer should be
● ●
used 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 and the elbow ends to the
1
corresponding machine inlet valves. The hot valve is colour coded orange to make this
easier. Tighten the inlet hose ends by hand until the hose seal makes contact with the
tap sealing face and then 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 after 24 hours.

IMPORTANT!
The hot water temperature should not exceed 65°C and the cold water temperature
not exceed 35°C. Temperatures above these may cause the machine to fault or cause
damage to the machine.
