Did you know?
the transit fixings are fitted to ensure that your machine is undamaged during delivery.
both of the transit fixings MUST BE removed before using the machine, be sure to remove TWO
bolts, TWO washers, TWO rubber grommets and TWO nylon spacers, not doing so will lead to
excessive vibration, movement of the machine and could eventually lead to internal damage.
the majority of problems with noisy machines are due to the transit fixings not being removed,
closely followed by the feet not being adjusted correctly to level the machine.
you will be charged for a service engineers visit if a problem with your machine is caused by
incorrect installation or misuse.

Location
Where you install your machine will affect its
performance:
! For your safety and to comply with electrical
regulations, seek professional advice if you want to
install your machine in a bath or shower room.
Make sure that the electrical socket and water
taps are easily accessible. You should switch off
the machine's electrical and water supplies
when you are not using it for extended periods.
Make sure that you allow enough space for the
machine. Select a space at least 60 cm wide,
60 cm deep and 85 cm high. Also leave enough
space to open the door fully, so that you can load
and unload it easily.
Where possible, the machine should be positioned
on a solid floor to minimise vibration.
! Take care when you move the machine not to rip any
floor coverings. The weight of the machine may cause
indentations in some floor coverings.
