Important

Before connecting the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.

Levelling

Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and stable.

If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, (see note on positioning), noise and displacement of the machine during operation.
