Set the machine upright and remove the two remaining
bolts from the back.
Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes into
which the bolts were fitted.
Plug the open holes with the plugs which you can find
in the envelope containing the instruction booklet.
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.
Water inlet
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded,
blue for cold and red for hot.
Connect the hoses to a tap with a 3/4” thread.
Do not use previously employed hoses.
If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two
hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y»
connection piece.
Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations’ requirements.

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 rear right bolt.
Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the
hoses are not squashed.
Remove the polystyrene base and take off the bottom
panel by unscrewing the central screw. Carefully slide
out the right polythene bag.
Repeat the operation for the left and central polythene
bags.
Re-fit the bottom panel using the 4 screws supplied with
the door hinges (in the plastic bag) and the previously
removed screw.
