2 . Onto a sink outlet spigot.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove
any blanking plug that may be in place.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with
a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain
hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink
entering the washing machine.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is
available from your local Service Force Centre.
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of
18mm.
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.
• For the correct functioning of the machine the drain
hose must be hooked on the proper support piece
situated on the top of the back side of the
appliance.
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.

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a
spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise
and displacement of the machine during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on
a wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,
always place the machine on a solid floor.
Special conditions
If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft
material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to
prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base
should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges
of the machine.
Warning
The machine should NOT be placed on deep
pile carpeting.
Note
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it
is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
In the interest of the environment
Washing machines and dishwashers should be
connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water
will then be taken to a sewage works for treatment
before being discharged safely into a river.
It is essential that these appliances are not
connected to the surface water drainage system as
this water is discharged directly into a river or stream
and may cause pollution.
If you require any further advice please contact your
local water authority.
