Washing machine location
Check the place where the washing
machine is to be installed. Make sure that
you have everything you need to install
the washing machine correctly. Choose a
dry place to install your washing machine,
preventing plastic parts from direct
exposure to sunlight.
Position
For your washing machine to function
correctly, your appliance must be level:
the floor must be firm and even, free from
depressions or holes, and must not move
or collapse. Ideally the floor should be
made of concrete, wood or tiles.
Important note:
Do not install your washing
machine on a carpeted floor, since
the carpet pile may obstruct motor
ventilation or make it heat up. Do
not install under the water heater.
How to make sure your
appliance is level
Regulate the height of your washing
machine by turning the feet indicated on
Fig. 1 depending on the floor where the
washing machine is to be installed,
making sure that all four feet of the
appliance are firmly supported on the floor.
4. INSTALLATION
There must be a space of 4 cm
minimum on each side of the
washing machine.
If your washing machine is not
level, it will NOT work properly.

Drainage connection
It is important for the drainage hose not to
be bent or be in the wrong position for the
water outlet. To avoid this problem look
carefully at the drawings showing how to
install it correctly.
Your washing machine is designed to
discharge water up to a maximum height
of 1.2 metres, so this height must not be
exceeded. You must also take care not to
install the outlet of your drainage hose at a
height of under 90 centimetres.
The drainage pump is
found at the back of
the washing machine.
Connect the hose clip to
the hose to stop any water
escaping.
Then connect the hose
elbow to the outlet
section of the pump as
shown in the diagram.

Installing the hot and cold water
supply hose
Connect the end of the water supply
hoses with an elbow to each water intake
point on the washing machine and the
straight side to the supply taps.

Precautions when connecting
the water supply hoses
If there is only one water tap in the place
where you want to install your washing
machine, make sure that this is a cold
water supply and connect it to the intake
marked COLD, otherwise your washing
machine will indicate that there is a fault
and will not work, since your washing
machine only uses cold water for rinsing.
NOTE 1: “With regard to equipment
connected to the water supply using
removable hoses, the new hoses supplied
with the equipment must be used.
Used hoses must not be used”.
NOTE 2: Your washing machine has a red
stopper indicating the hot water intake.
This stopper must be removed when you
connect the hot water hose and if this
option is not being used then the stopper
should be left in place.
Preparations
Electrical connection
The washing machine must be earthed, so
make sure that the plug has three prongs
because otherwise you might experience
an electric shock if there is no insulation.
For the same reason DO NOT USE
extension leads with 2 conductors.
