Installation
zFor guidance on how to install your product, please refer to installation instructions
contained in this document.
zInstall the washer on a solid and level floor surface ensuring it has at least 20mm
clearance on each side. The washer must not be installed on any textured floor coverings
(eg carpet, rugs).
zThis washer must not be installed or operated on a plinth.
zEnsure the installation provides accessibility to the plug or incorporate a switch in the
fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules to allow disconnection of the appliance
from the supply after installation.
Water supply requirements:
zInlet water pressure: Max. 1MPa (145psi), Min. 50kPa (7.3psi)
zInlet water flow rate: Min. 6litres/minute
zA pressure-reducing valve must be installed if pressure is higher than 1MPa.
zFor optimum wash performance check the supply pressure is within the
recommendedrange.
zNew hose sets provided with the washer should be used to connect the washer to the
water mains. Old hose sets should not be re-used.
zWe recommend the inlet hose(s) are changed every 5 years. WARNING: Failure to do so
may result in a flood and damage to property.
zThe hot water temperature should not exceed 65°C and the cold water temperature not
exceed35°C. Temperatures above these may cause the washer to fault or cause damage
to the washer.

Your washer is heavy, we recommend two persons to move and install.
1 Remove the outer packaging including the polystyrene packer and
plastic wrapping.
2 Lift the washer off the base.
3 Remove all packaging and accessories from inside the drum.
4 Dispose of all packaging sustainably, ensuring these materials are
kept out of the reach of children.
UNPACKING WATER SUPPLY
Inlet hose(s)
Failure to adhere to the following guidance may result in
a flood and damage to property. Only use the new hose
set(s) provided with your washer.
1 Connect the straight ends of the inlet hose(s) to the
tap(s), thereare washers fitted in both ends.
2 Connect the elbow ends to the corresponding washer
inlet valves. If present, the hot valve is coloured
orange to make this easier.
3 Tighten the inlet hose(s) ends by hand until the hose
seal just makes contact with the tap-sealing face.
Continue to tighten a further half-turn.
4 Make sure there are no kinks in the hose(s).
5 Turn the tap(s) on and check for leaks. Check for leaks
again after 24 hours.
Water supply requirements
If you have an uncontrolled water heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating system) you
should fit a tempering valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature remains within safe
limits. Contact your registered plumber to select and install the tempering valve.
Your cold water should not exceed 35°C and your hot water should not exceed 65°C.
Temperatures above these may cause the washer to fault or cause damage to the washer.
Cold supply only
If you only have a cold water supply, you must connect the inlet valve cap (blanking cap)
provided with your washer to the hot inlet valve. The cap prevents water leaking out of the hot
valve. This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with AS3500.1/IEC61770. No
further backflow protection is required for connection to the water supply.
Your washer has an internal heater to heat water. If you do not connect a hot water inlet hose,
your washer will automatically recognise there is no hot water supply and its internal heater
will heat the cold water to the selected cycle temperature.

DRAINING
20 mm
max.
Place the drain hose in a tub or standpipe
Attach drain hose to spigot
In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the washer should be installed on a floor
equipped with a drain. Draining must comply with local by-laws.
1 Flex the guide apart and pull the hose
through the guide.
2 Ensure a maximum of 20mm of the hose
is left exposed at the end.
3 Secure the hose guide to prevent it
dislodging from the standpipe or tub.
If the drain hose is placed on the ground or if the tub or standpipe is less than 600mm
high, the washer will continuously drain (siphon) while being filled.
Tub or standpipe height should be a minimum of 600mm.
Regularly check that your tub or standpipe is free from lint or other obstructions. This may
affect operation or cause flooding.
The hose guide is used to hold the drain hose high enough to prevent continuous
draining (siphoning).
The hose guide is used to hold the drain hose over the tub or standpipe.
1 Flex the guide apart and pull the hose
through the guide.
2 Secure the hose guide to a wall or the
back wall of the cupboard using a screw.
3 Drill out the blanking insert from spigot to
ensure the washer can drain correctly.
4 Attach drain hose to spigot and secure
using a hose clamp.
5 Check for leaks.
zThe clothes washer is fitted with transit safety bolts at the rear to avoid possible damage
to the internal components of the washer during transportation.
zThe four transit bolts must be removed prior to operation of the washer.
Failure to remove these will result in damage to the washer and compromise your
manufacturer’s warranty.
zThe transit bolts must be removed in order to use the power cord.
3Detach the drain hoses from the plastic
clasp, and remove the clasps on the side of
the transit braces.
To remove the bolt, grommet and
white plastic spacers, pull on the black
rubber grommets.
Use a spanner or socket to unscrew and
remove all four transit bolts at the back of
the washer.

left and right sides, and near the centre of the
top brace.
Remove the braces.

Move the washer into its final position
allowing for required clearances.
Level the washer side to side:
Place the level on the centre front of the
washer. Pull the washer out, loosen the lock
nut (using the spanner provided) and wind
the feet up or down until the washer is level
side to side.
Level the washer front to back:
Place the level on the left side, in line with
the centre of the washer. Adjust the front left
foot and then the right foot until the washer
is level.
There should be equal weight on both
front feet.
Using the spanner provided, tighten the lock
nuts against the base of the washer tolockthe
feet in position.
Move and centre the washer into its
final position within the cavity, ensuring
recommended clearances.
Recheck the washer is level, front to back and
side to side. Repeat the above steps if required.
It is IMPORTANT to level the washer. Having a level washer set up in its cavity will
ensure best performance for spinning, minimising noise, vibrations and wear and tear on
the washer.
