Use a spirit level on the top and
side of the washing machine to
check the levels.
It is important that your
washing machine stands firm
and level on the floor to ensure
correct operation.
11.2 Positioning The appliance must not be installed
behind a lockable door, a sliding
door or a door with a hinge on the
opposite side so that the washing
machine door is restricted.
IMPORTANT

ENGLISH 31
Never place cardboard, wood or
similar materials under the machine
to compensate for any unevenness
in the floor.
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.
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.
11.3 Water Inlet
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.
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.
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.

The inlet hose must not be
lengthened. If it is too short and
you do not wish to move the tap,
you will have to purchase a new,
longer hose specially designed for
this type of use.
This could be done by tying it to
the tap with a piece of string or
attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This
branch must be above the trap
so that the bend is at least 60 cm
above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a
height of no less than 60 cm
and no more than 90 cm. The
end of the drain hose must
always be ventilated, i.e. the
inside diameter of the drain pipe
must be larger than the outside
diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be
kinked. Run it along the floor, only
the part near the drainage point
must be raised.
The end of the drain hose can be
positioned in three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink
using the plastic hose guide
supplied with the machine.
For correct functioning of the
machine the drain hose must
remain hooked on the proper
support piece situated on the top
part of back side of the appliance.
In this case, make sure the end
cannot come unhooked when
the machine is emptying.
11.4 Water Drainage
