INSTALLATION

11.1 Positioning
It is important that your washing
machine stands firm and level
on the floor to ensure correct
operation.
That the appliance must not be
installed behind a lockable door, a
sliding door or a door with a hinge
on the opposite side to that of the
washing machine door is restricted.
Use a spirit level on the top and
side of the washing machine to
check the levels.
If you do not have a spirit level, as a
guide use the edge of a door frame,
cupboard or bench to check that
the washing machine is level.
Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust
the level. A correct adjustment of
the appliance level prevents the
vibration, noise and the movement
of the appliance when in operation.
When the washing machine is
levelled, try to rock it from corner
to corner. If it does rock, adjust the
legs again until it is levelled and
does not rock.
Never place cardboard, wood or
similar materials under the machine
to compensate for any unevenness
in the floor.
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 cupboard units.
11.2 Water Inlet
Connect the water inlet hose to a
tap with 3/4" BSP thread.
Use the hose supplied with the
washing machine. DO NOT USE
OLD HOSES.
The other end of the inlet hose
which connects to the machine
can be turned in any direction.
Simply loosen the fitting, rotate
the hose and retighten the fitting,
making sure there are no water
leaks.
