Unpacking the Product

Remove the machine from its packaging close to the final location of the machine.

Step 1. Remove all outer packaging from the machine. Check there is no damage to the machine before continuing the installation process.

Step 2. Carefully cut through the hose-retaining clip at the rear of the machine, taking care not to cut the hose itself.

Step 3. Remove the 4 retaining screws at the rear of the machine, as indicated in the image on the left. Use the blanking plugs provided in the instruction booklet pack to cover the holes once the screws have been removed.

Step 4. Tilt the machine forward and apply the insulation base panel (corrugated plastic) to the base of the machine using the self-adhesive strips.

Installation

Before installing the machine, ensure that the mains plug and water supply valves are easily accessible from your chosen machine location.

Make sure there is enough space for the machine. Select a space at least 600mm wide and 850mm high. Also leave enough space to open the door fully so you can load and unload it easily.

Keep the area underneath and around the machine free of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals etc.

All machines are tested with water prior to leaving the factory, so a small amount of water may be present in the drum and the drain hose.

Flooding may occur if any part of the installation process is not completed correctly.

Electricity Supply

Washing machines are supplied to operate at a voltage of 230-240V, 50 Hz single phase. Please check that the supply circuit is rated to at least 13A.

The plug is already equipped with a 13A fuse, which is BS 1362 ASTA approved. Any replacement must be the same rating and specification. If the fuse cover is lost, do not use the plug until it is replaced.

Electricity can be extremely dangerous. Please take care when connecting your machine to the electricity supply.
