Location of transit bolts.

2. Remove the transit fixings...

There are two transit bolts fitted under plastic covers, one at either side of the rear of your machine. These bolts prevent damage to the machine while it is being transported.

Remove both transit bolts complete with spacers, by following the instructions below.

Use a screwdriver to release the covers and a standard 13mm spanner to remove both bolts.

INSTALLING YOUR MACHINE

WARNINGS:

Before you use the machine, remove the two transit bolts complete with spacers.

If you do not do this, damage may occur to your machine. Keep the parts in case you need them for future transportation.

If and when you replace the bolts complete with spacers make sure you do not overtighten them.

Firstly, unhook the grey drainage hose and proceed as follows, taking care not to loosen the hot and cold water fill hoses.
