Installation

Positioning

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.

•If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas cooker or coal-burning stove, an insulating panel (85x57 cm) 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 accessi- ble for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

Levelling

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.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose supplied with the machine to a separate tap with a 3/4" thread. Do not use already employed hoses.

Important!

Before connecting up 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.
