Positioning and levelling

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.

HEC007S

If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas cooker or coal- burning stove, an insulating panel 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 accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

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

An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.

Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the water supply.

This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.

1.Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.

2.Connect the hose with the angled connection to the machine.

Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap.

3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut.

After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too shortand you do not wish to

move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed

HEC0006

for this type of use.

Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations
