Before You Do Your First Wash

You owe it to yourself and your Smart Drive® to have it installed correctly by an authorised

service agent.

Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the following checklist:

1

Has the basepacker been removed?

2

Is the hot hose connected to the hot valve marked ‘H’? Is the cold hose connected to the cold

valve marked ‘C’?

3

Is the drain hose threaded through the ‘U bend‘ (with no more than 20mm extended) and on to

your standpipe?

4

Are the rubber inserts secured into the feet on the base of your machine and is the machine

levelled?

Refer to Installation Instructions, page 4.

If you have bought a Pride model it is a good idea to check the warm fill temperature. (Refer to

page 26).
