Additional space (240mm) is required for the rear side of the washing machine. This is to allow
enough space for the water hose and drain hose.
Installing Your Washing Machine
Please read and follow the instructions carefully.
• In addition to the instructions mentioned here, special regulations of the relevant water and power
supply companies may apply. If in doubt, have the washing machine connected by a qualified
technician.
• The washing machine is heavy - caution when lifting it. Do not lift by projecting components (e.g.
washing machine door).
• Warning: Frozen hoses may tear/burst. Do not install washing machine in outdoor areas or where
there is a risk of frost.
• Lay hoses and cables in such a way that there is no risk of trapping or kinking.
Choosing the Right Location for Your Washing Machine
• Make sure there’s enough space for your washing machine.
• Install your washing machine on a flat, stable surface to avoid excessive vibration and noise.
• Don’t install your washing machine in direct sunlight or in a place where temperatures reach
freezing.

Moving and Installing
Removing the Anchor Bolts
Four anchor bolts keep the interior of the washing machine in place while it’s being moved.
They need to be removed before installation. Use a spanner (not supplied) and follow the instructions
detailed below.
Don’t run the washing machine without removing the bolts, as this can cause excessive
vibrations.
Moving the Washing Machine from One Location to Another
Make sure to fix the anchor bolts prior to moving the washing machine.
Before you move the washing machine
• Shut off the tap and run the washing machine to drain the water. Drain any remaining water from
the pump hose.
• Depressurise the water supply hose and remove it.
• Disconnect the mains cable.
• Attach the anchor bolts.
To remove the anchor bolts:
1. Use a spanner to loosen the four bolts. They are located at the rear side of the washing machine.
2. Pull the bolts out horizontally. Make sure the entire bolt is removed.
3. Remove the 4 plastic bolt guides if not removed with the bolt.

You’ll need the anchor bolts again if you move the washing machine, so make sure you keep
them in a safe place.

How to connect from the right side
Levelling the Washing Machine
There are 4 levelling feet on the underside. They must be adjusted to make sure the washing machine
is level.
1. On each stand, loosen the lock nut by turning it clockwise with a spanner.
2. Adjust all four feet in this way.
3. Use a spirit level to ensure the washing machine is level.
4. Tighten each lock nut by turning them anti-clockwise (towards the
washing machine body), again using a spanner.
Ensure all four lock nuts are tightened securely. Check the feet are still bolted to
the washing machine - if they’re unbolted, the washing machine will move around.
Water Supply Hose
Points to remember
• Follow the instructions in this section to avoid water leaks.
• Don’t connect the hose to a combination tap.
• Don’t twist, squash, modify or cut the hose.
• Optimum water pressure in the main pipe is 0.02 MPa - 1.0 MPa. If the water pressure is set higher
than this, you will need to install a depressurising valve. Water-flow from the tap should be more
than 5 litres per minute. If you’re unsure, ask a qualified technician to connect the hose.
• This unit must only be connected to cold water mains using the new water inlet hose provided.
Connecting the Water Supply Hose
1. Attach the hose to a tap, and tighten the
plastic joint by hand.
2. Open the tap slowly and check that there
are no leaks around the joint.

Leak-proof System - Overflow Detection
This system is designed to prevent water leaks from the washing machine. If water collects in the
washing machine above a certain level, this function prevents the washing machine overflowing by
stopping the water supply and activating the drain pump.
Water Drain Hose
Points to remember:
• Don’t twist, pull out or bend the drain hose.
• Your washing machine should be no more than 100cm from the drain outlet.
Draining to a sink or wash-basin
• Secure the drain hose in position, so it can’t drop out of the basin.
• Don’t block the basin’s drain outlet, and make sure that the drainage through it is sufficient.
• Don’t let the tip of the drain hose dip into the drained water, as this can cause the water to flow
back into the washing machine.

Connecting to the Mains Supply
For your safety:
• Do not use a mains plug adapter or extension cable.
• If the mains cable or mains plug are damaged, stop using them and call a qualified technician for
assistance.
