n5. Leveling
•To access the front leveling legs, tilt the
machine backwards, leaning it against
a wall or other stable structure.
•Adjust the legs up or down (Fig. 8) to
ensure the washer is resting solid
and does not rock side-to-side or
front-to-back when the machine is
upright.
•Check that the angle of inclination,
measured according to the worktop,
does not exceed 2°.
IMPORTANT: The machine must rest solid on a sturdy floor
for optimum performance and minimum vibration.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the drain hose is not kinked
and that water flow is not restricted.

Sink Drainpipe System - Entry into the sink drain system must be above
the trap (Fig. 5). When routing the drain hose through cabinets or walls,
use a protective material such as electrical or duct tape to cover sharp
edges that could damage the drain hose. Use a suitable clamp to secure
the drain hose to the “Y” branch or the disposer. With a sink drainpipe
system, you may connect directly: 1) to a disposer by following the
manufacturers attachment method. 2) directly to a “Y” branch tail piece
(available at most hardware stores). 3) Through the floor to a separate
trap. The trap must be vented to prevent siphoning. To provide proper
venting, install an Air Gap Kit (available at most hardware stores). 4) To
the to the faucet using a Faucet Adapter Kit (available separately). It will
supply water from your faucet and discharge water directly into your sink
drain.
