Positioning; Water Inlet - Electrolux EWW14791W User Manual

Installation instructions (cont.)

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air
circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets,
rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall
or other kitchen units. Level the washing machine by raising
or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as
they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST
be level and stable. If necessary, check the setting with a
spirit level. Any necessary adjustment can be made with
a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation.
caution
Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the
machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Water inlet

warning
This appliance must be connected to a cold water
supply.
1. Connect the water inlet hose supplied with the machine
to a tap with a 3/4" thread. Always use the hose
supplied with the appliance.
important
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect
to the water supply.
2. The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the
machine can be turned as showed in the picture. Do
not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to
the left or right depending on the position of your water
tap.
3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After
positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut
again to prevent leaks.
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and
you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase
a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.
important
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to
pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that
may have collected in the pipes.
