Unpacking
1. Remove the washer from its packing.
2. Make sure that the washer has not been
damaged during the transportation process. If it
has been damaged, contact the retailer and do
not proceed any further with the installation
process.
Remove the transport bolts
CAUTION
DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE OR INJURY POSSIBLE
The machine is secured for transport with
transport bolts. Transport bolts that are not
removed can damage the drum during operation
of the machine, the washer will vibrate, and it
will be much noisier during spin cycles if the
transport bolts are not removed before use. Be
sure to remove all 4 transport bolts completely
before first use. Keep the transport bolts. If a
pedestal was purchased with the washer, it must
be installed first, prior to removing the transport
bolts. Please consult the pedestal installation
instructions.
In order to prevent transport damage during later
transport, be sure to re-install the bolts before
transport.
1. Undo the four transport bolts Aand remove
them.
2. Remove the four spacers B. They will fall to the
floor when you tip the machine.
3. Insert the four cover caps C which will be found
in accessory bag.
Keep all the parts in safe place: you will need them
again if the washing machine needs to be moved to
another location.
Packaging materials should not be used as toys for
children.
Leveling the washer
Importance of leveling the washer
Your new washer uses high spin speeds to remove
water at the end of the wash cycle. It is important
that your washer is level and that all four washer
feet press with equal pressure against the floor. This
will help assure the quietest, most vibration-free
use of your washer.
Follow these steps:
1. Install the washer on a level and solid surfaces.
Preferably in a corner of a room.
2. If the floor is uneven (or out of level ) adjust the
washer feet as required to level the washer. Do
not place anything under the washer feet to help
level the washer.
3. Extend the washer feet no more than is
necessary. The more the feet are extended, the
more vibration the washer will experience. Start
with the washer feet turned all the way in and
adjust each foot as necessary.
4. Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer
to make sure it is level side to side and front to
rear.
5. Press down on each corner of the washer top to
make sure the washer doesn’t “wobble”. There
should be no “give” or movement. All four
washer feet should press equally against the floor.
This is just as important as the washer being level
to prevent vibration.
6. When the washer is level and does not wobble,
lock the washer feet in place by tightening the
locknuts against the washer bottom. Be sure to
do this without changing the height of the foot
(hold the foot while tightening the locknut)

Installation
7
Procedure for adjusting the washer feet:
1. After determining which washer feet need to be
extended, have someone lift up on the washer
slightly to take pressure off the foot to be
adjusted.
2. Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward
as far as necessary to raise the corner of the
washer the correct amount to level the washer.
3. When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17
mm open end wrench to tighten the locknut
against the washer bottom. The locknut should
be tighten against the bottom of the washer to
lock the foot in place.

articles one at a time loosely into the drum,
without overfilling. Observe the load sizes given
in the “Table of wash cycle”, Overloading the
machine will result in unsatisfactory washing
results and creased laundry.

Make sure that no laundry gets stuck between
door glass and rubber seal. Close the door so that
you can hear it click shut.

Make sure that the washing machine is
connected to the water mains. Open the water
tap.

“Program”button. The duration of the wash

5. Add detergent
Pull out the detergent dispenser and add
detergent (and additives/softener) into the
relative compartments as described below.
Compartment 1:
Powder washing
detergent
Compartment 2:
Liquid washing
detergent
The liquid detergent
must not exceed the
“MAX” level.
Compartment 3:
Additives (Softener. etc.) The fabric softener must
not exceed the “MAX” level.
Observe the dosing recommendations on the
detergent pack.
Correct dosing of detergent/additives is important,
because:
·It optimizes the cleaning result
·It avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent
in your laundry
·It saves money by avoiding waste of surplus
detergent
·It protects the washing machine by avoiding
calcification of components
·It respects the environment by avoiding
unnecessary environmental burden.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because
these create too much foam.
! Use powder detergent for white cotton garments,
for pre-washing, and for washing at temperatures
over 60℃.
! Follow the instructions given on the detergent
packing.

duration.
