1. Choose a location...
Where you install the 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.
● Make sure that you allow enough space for the
machine. Select a space at least 600mm wide, 600mm
deep and 850mm high. Also leave enough space to
open the door fully so you can load and unload it easily.
● Where possible the machine should be positioned on a
solid level floor to minimise vibration.
● Take care when you move the machine not to rip any
floor coverings. There are wheels on the bottom rear of
the machine, so tilting it backwards a little is the easiest
way to move it. The weight of the machine may cause
indentations in some floor coverings.
Follow these steps for trouble free installation:

After removing the packaging from the machine, make
sure that the polystyrene block (figure 1) has come away
from the underside of the machine, with the polystyrene
base.
If it has not come away, carefully lower the machine on
its side onto the polystyrene top cap and then remove
the polystyrene block (see figure 2).
You may need a second person to help you lower and
raise the machine.
