Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed
before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in
case the machine is to be transported again.
Using a spanner unscrew and remove the two rear
bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic pins.
Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the
hoses are not squashed.

Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the
machine and release the two plastic bags.
Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag, removing
it towards the right and then downwards.

Repeat the operation for the right polythene bag,
removing it towards the left and then upwards.

Remove the polystyrene base.
Set the machine upright and unscrew the remaining rear
screw. Slide out the relevant pin.

Important !
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in
case the machine is to be transported again.
In case of moving out the same precautions as per
paragraphe “The dangers of freezing” must be taken
i.e. the residual water in the hoses must be pumped out.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not
impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine
does not touch the wall or other kitchen units.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under
the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.
Your new washing machine has been designed to be
permanently plumbed in to your home’s water supply
and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it
may be connected to suitable existing taps with the
drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with
female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. If this connection is
not compatible with the plumbing of the existing
installation, a variety of connectors are available from
good hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit
most domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your
existing plumbing must be carried out by a competent
person, or qualified plumber.

Installation on a Suspended Floor

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you
place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick
under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams
with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of
the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.
