We suggest a polystyrene angle bracket from the packing is placed on the floor before tilting it back to avoid the hoses being squashed.

■Carefully remove the polyethylene bags located at the base of the machine by pulling them toward the centre of the machine.

■Plug the 3 holes with the plastic plugs which you can find in the envelope containing the instruction booklet.

with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety of connectors are available from good hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified plumber.

Installation on a Suspended Floor

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.
