Additional space (150mm) 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
Do not run the washing machine without removing the bolts, as this
can cause excessive vibrations.
Installing the Noise Protection Board
To reduce the noise produced by the washing machine, install the noise protection board.
1. Lay down the machine. Unscrew the four feet.
2. Fit the board onto the bottom of the machine. The four holes in the board should correspond to
the screw holes of the levelling feet.
3. Screw the four levelling feet back on to fix the noise protection board to the machine.
4. Stand the machine upright.
Fix the Noise Protection Board onto the bottom of the machine BEFORE removing
the transit bolts.
Removing the Transit Bolts
Three (3) transit bolts keep the interior of the washing machine in place while it is being moved.
They need to be removed before installation. Use a spanner (not included) and follow the instructions
detailed below.
Two or more people are required to carry the
washing machine and for any installation work.

Moving the Washing Machine from One Location to Another
To remove the transit bolts:
1. Ensure the unit is fully disconnected from
the mains power by unplugging it from
the mains.
2. Unscrew the three (3) transit bolts.
3. They are located at the rear side of the
washing machine. Use a spanner (not
included) to loosen the three (3) transit
bolts, then pull out the bolts horizontally.
Ensure the plastic bolt guides (if any) are
also removed.
4. Snap in the plastic caps to cover the transit
bolt holes.

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 0.03 MPa - 1.0 MPa. If the water pressure is set higher
than this, you will need to install a depressurising valve. Ensure the water flow amount and speed
from the tap is sufficient. 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. Connect the nut on the inlet hose to the
connector on the water valve.
2. Apply inlet hose to a water tap with cold, fresh
water.
3. Open the tap slowly and check that there are
no leaks around the joint.

Plastic joint
• The joint is subject to water pressure.
• Use the hose set supplied with the appliance. Old hose sets should not be reused.
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 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.
• Use the drain hose bracket to keep the end of the drain hose retained
and prevent the outflow of water. Don’t extend the length of the drain
hose; if an extended hose is required, please consult a serviceman.
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.
Installation Check List
By now, you should have installed the washing machine.
Let’s go through the checklist to ensure that the installation has been done correctly!
Questions Checkbox
Anchor bolts - Have you removed them and attached the cover caps properly?
4 levelling feet Are they bolted securely to the washing machine?
Are they standing flat?
Power supply - Is the household dedicated mains socket, fully rated at AC 220V to
240V independently?
Location - Is your washing machine on a flat, stable surface? Does it run without
vibrating?
Water Supply Hose - Is it free from leaks and is the water supply normal?
Water Drain Hose - Is it free from leaks and is it draining normally?
The drain hose should not be submerged in water and should be
securely fixed and leak-free. If the drain hose is placed on the ground
or if the pipe is at a height of less than 80cm, the washing machine
will continuously drain while being filled (self-siphoning).
