Installation

When the new washer-dryer arrives

Whether new or just transported to a new house, installation is extremely important for the correct functioning of your washer-dryer.

After removing the appliance from its packaging, check that it is intact. If in doubt, contact Equator immediately. The inside of the machine is supported, for transportation, by four shipping bolts on the back panel.

Before using the washer-dryer, remove the external shipping bolts, remove the spacers together with the rubber tubes attached to them (save all the parts) and use the plastic blanking plugs provided to fill in the holes. Use the wrench provided to remove the external bolts.

Attach the two rubber hoses provided to the red (hot) and white (cold) water inlets on the back (top right) or the appliance. Connect the other ends to the appropriate built-in water supplies or a Y-adapter / Faucet Adapter combination to a single source (like a kitchen faucet.). Using the “U”-Connector provided, place the drain hose into the drain pipe (or the sink.) See Plumbing on Pg. 7 for more details.

Leveling

The washer-dryer must be levelled appropriately in order to guarantee its correct functioning. To level the appliance, the front feet must be adjusted; the angle of inclination, measured according to the worktop, must not exceed 2°.
