2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink entering the washing machine.

Important |
●Before connecting 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.
●For a correct functioning of the machine the drain hose must be hooked on the proper support piece situated on the top of the back side of the appliance.
Levelling
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 (check diagonally).
P1051 |
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, (see note on positioning), noise and displacement of the machine during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible, always place the machine on a solid floor.
In the interest of the environment
Washing machines and dishwashers should be connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before being discharged safely into a river.
