Installation 43

Positioning and levelling

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.

Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc.

Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating.

Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar materials under the machine.

HEC007S

If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas cooker or coal- burning stove, an insulating panel covered with aluminium foil on the side facing the cooker or stove, must be inserted between the two appliances.

The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature can drop below 0.

The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Automatic foot: The rear foot on the left-hand side of your washing machine is built as a shock absorbing foot, which is why the appliance gives in the back left- hand corner if put under load. The automatic foot guarantees that the appliance does not move even at high spin speeds. Basically the automatic foot does not need to be set.

Water inlet

An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.

Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the water supply.

This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.

1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.

2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to the machine.

HEC0006

Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle

the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap.
