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.

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 the open holes with the plugs supplied with the instruction booklet.

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.

Your new washer-dryer 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 a suitable existing tap with the drain hose discharging into a sink.

Repeat the operation for the left and central polythene bags.

Re-fit the bottom panel using the 4 screws supplied with the door hinges (in the plastic bag) and the previously removed screw.

The appliance has an inlet hose, with female 3/4” BSP thread connector. 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.

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.
