Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in case the machine is to be transported again.

Using a spanner unscrew and remove the rear right bolt. Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the hoses are not squashed.

Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the machine.

Carefully slide out the right polythene bag (1).

Repeat the operation for the left polythene bag (2).

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.

Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Your new washing machine has been designed to be permanently plumbed in to your home’s water supply and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it may be connected to suitable existing taps with the drain hose discharging into a sink.

The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. If this connection is not compatible 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.

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.

Water inlet

Remove the polystyrene base.

Set the machine upright and remove the two remaining bolts from the back.

Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes into which the bolts were fitted.

Plug all the holes with the plugs which you can find in the envelope containing the instruction booklet.

The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded, blue for cold and red for hot.

Connect the hoses to a tap with a 3/4” thread.
