Remove the transport bolts

9CAUTION
DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE
The machine is secured for transport with
transport bolts.
Transport bolts that are not removed can damage
the drum during operation of the machine, the
washer will vibrate, and it will be much noisier
during spin cycles if the transport bolts are not
removed before use.
Be sure to remove all 4 transport bolts
completely before first use. Keep the transport
bolts.
If a pedestal was purchased with the washer, it
must be installed first, prior to removing the
transport bolts. Please consult the pedestal
installation instructions.
In order to prevent transport damage during later
transport, be sure to re-install the bolts before
transport.
1.
Remove hoses from the brackets.
2.
Loosen and remove all 4 transport bolts.
Remove the sleeves. Take the power cable out of the
brackets.
3.
Place covers over the transport bolt holes
Four plastic covers are provided in the small parts bag
included with your washer. Separate these covers and
install one in each hole where the transport bolts were
removed.
Lock covers firmly by pressing on the snap hook.
Insert hose holder. Secure hoses in the hose holders.
NOTICE: Keep the assemblies together and store them
for later use such as when moving the washer.

Water supply hose connections
NOTICES
The washing machine must only be operated with cold
and hot (max. 140 °F/60 °C) tap water. Do not
connect the appliance to the mixer tap of a
pressurized hot-water boiler.
To prevent water damage, the hot and cold water
valves should be accessible when the washing
machine is in place and should always be turned off
when the washing machine is not in use.
If installing the washing machine in a new building or a
building in which the plumbing system was recently
installed or upgraded, flush the lines before installing
the washing machine to remove any sand, dirt or
residue.
To prevent leakage or water damage, follow the
instruction in this chapter.
If in doubt, have the appliance connected by a
technican.
Connect your washer to the wall faucets using the
included AquaShield water supply hose.
Observe each of the following:
Only use the new water supply hose shipped with your
washer. Never connect old used hoses.
The water supply hoses must not be kinked, bent or
flattened in such a way as to potentially diminish water
flow.
The water supply pressure must be between 14,5 to
145 psi (1 - 10 bar) with a minimum of 2.2 U.S. gallons
(8 liters) of flow per minute. A pressure regulator valve
must be installed if the maximum water pressure is
exceeded.
