Remove the polystyrene base...

Important check when unpacking your machine:

This is part of the polystyrene base and should have stayed intact when you remove the base.

If it has broken off and is still in the machine....

to remove it, carefully lay the machine on its side onto the polystyrene top cap and then remove the polystyrene block.

Note: You will need a second person to help you lower and raise the machine.

INSTALLING YOUR MACHINE

Installing your machine

Follow these steps for trouble free installation:

1. Choose a location...

Where you install the machine will affect its performance.

For your safety and to comply with electrical regulations, seek professional advice if you want to install your machine in a bath or shower room.

Make sure that the electrical socket and water taps are easily accessible. You should switch off the machine’s electrical and water supplies when you are not using it.

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

Where possible the machine should be positioned on a solid level floor to minimise vibration.

Take care when you move the machine not to rip any floor coverings. There are wheels on the bottom rear of the machine, so tilting it backwards a little is the easiest way to move it. The weight of the machine may cause indentations in some floor coverings.

WARNINGS:

Do not plug the machine in and switch it on at the mains until the installation is completed.

You will be charged for a service call if a problem with your machine is caused by incorrect installation or misuse.
