Installation

Positioning the washing machine

The washing machine can be installed as a built-in or freestanding unit. Position the machine so that the electrical plug is easily accessible.

A. Built-in

The washing machine can be installed under a counter top with a working height of 850-900 mm. Leave a space of approxi- mately 5 mm around the machine.

B. Freestanding

The washing machine can be positioned beside or under a dryer.

Adjusting the feet

Adjust the feet so that the machine is steady and balanced on the floor. Tighten the locking nuts.

Connection to water supply

Water connection should be carried out by a qualified person.

Connect the machine using the accom- panying supply hose. Water pressure

should be 0.1–1MPa (approx. 1–10kp/cm2; 10–100N/cm2).

There should be a stopcock on the water pipe.

If the pipes are newly installed, it may be wise to flush them through so that any dirt is washed away. Otherwise, dirt can clog the filter in the machine’s water intake and cut off the water supply.

Drainage connection

The machine is supplied with a connected drainage hose that can be fastened to a laundry sink or similar. The height must be 600 - 900 mm above floor level.

600-900 mm

A lower position (600 mm) is always prefer- able. Ensure that the drainage hose has no kinks.
