Unpacking
To ensure the best performance from your new washer please follow the instructions below.
Removing the packaging
1Remove the outer packaging (including the polystyrene packer and plastic wrapping). All
packaging must be removed prior to use. Ensure these materials are kept out of reach of
children. Note: a small amount of water may be seen inside the packaging and inside the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Location
ImpORTANT!
Install the machine 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).
Levelling the machine
It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure good spin
performance, and to minimise noise, vibrations and wear
and tear on the washer.
1Before positioning the machine in its final position, check
that the machine is level, front to back and side to side.
2Manoeuvre the product into its final position (we suggest a
minimum clearance of 20mm each side).
3Use a spirit level to check that the machine is correctly
level. If needed, pull the machine out and wind the feet up
or down to correctly level the machine.
4Using the spanner provided, tighten the lock nuts against
the base of the machine to lock the feet in position.
Connecting to the water supply
Inlet hoses
ImpORTANT!
 New 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.
 We recommend the inlet hoses are changed every
5 years. WARNING: Failure to do so may result in a
flood and damage to property.
1Connect the straight ends of the inlet hoses to the taps
and the elbow ends to the corresponding machine inlet
valves. The hot valve is colour coded orange to make
this easier. Make sure there are no kinks in the hoses.
2Turn the taps on and check for leaks. Check for leaks
again after 24hours.
ImpORTANT!
The hot water temperature should not exceed 65°C and the cold water temperature
not exceed35°C. Temperatures above these may cause the machine to fault or cause
damage to the machine.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If you have an uncontrolled water heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating
system) you should fit a Hot ‘N’ Safe Valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature
remains within safe limits.
Hot ‘N’ Safe Valves available are:
RMC TVA 50HF
RMC TVA 75HFS
Adjustable between 35°C – 55°C
RMC TVA 50HP
For instantaneous gas hot water supply
Water supply requirements:
 Inlet water pressure: Maximum 1MPa (150psi), Minimum 30kPa (4.5psi)
 Inlet water flow rate: Minimum 6litres/minute
Cold supply only:
If you only have a cold water supply, the inlet valve cap (blanking cap) which came with
your washer must be connected to the hot inlet valve. The cap prevents water leaking
out of the hot valve. This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with
AS3500.1. No further backflow protection is required for connection to the water supply.
Note: 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 required cycle temperature.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Draining
Drain hose placement in a stand pipe or tub
1To guide the drain hose over the tub or
standpipe the hose guide must be fitted to
the drain hose. The height of the standpipe
or tub should be between 800–1200mm.
2Secure the hose guide so it cannot become
dislodged from the standpipe or tub.
ImpORTANT!
 If the drain hose is placed on the ground or
if the standpipe or tub is less than 800mm
high, the washing machine will continuously
drain while being filled (siphon).
 Regularly check that your standpipe or tub
is free from lint or other obstructions, which
may affect how your machine works or may
cause flooding.
Attaching drain hose to spigot
1Guide drain hose through hose guide
2Secure hose guide to back wall of cupboard
using a screw. The height of the drain hose
should be between 500–800mm from
ground level.
3Attach drain hose to spigot and secure using
a hose clamp ensuring the blanking insert is
cleared from spigot.
4Check for leaks.
 The drain hose should be checked from time
to time and replaced if any damage (egwear,
cuts, bulges, kinks, leaks, etc) is found. Do
not bend the drain hose sharply, as this may
cause it to split.
 In multi-storey apartments or any upper
floor, the machine should be installed on a
floor equipped with a drain.
 Draining must comply with local by-laws.

WASHER CONTROLS
SmartTouch™ Control Dial
The SmartTouch™ Control Dial provides easy and efficient
wash cycle selection. As you rotate the dial, the icon of the
wash cycle selected will be illuminated, along with the default
settings for that cycle on the right side of the control panel.
SmartTouch™ buttons
The smooth, easy clean buttons enable easy selection of
options with lights clearly showing the selections you are
making.
Digital display screen
The digital display screen provides feedback on how long the
wash cycle has to go. If you have programmed a ‘Delay Start’,
the time remaining until the cycle will start will be displayed
here, along with any messages to help you with the overall
running of your washer (eg user warnings).
Time to go
Your washer displays approximately how many minutes the
cycle you are running has remaining, so that you can tell at a
glance when your washing will be finished.
Please be aware that a number of factors can influence the
overall cycle time, eg the water flow rate, water pressure,
whether hot water is being used from the tap or the water
is heated by the internal heater, load size, cycle and option
selections. Therefore cycle times will vary. Unexpected factors
in a wash cycle (eg out of balance, oversudsing) can lengthen
the cycle time. The time remaining is constantly updated
taking these factors into account, which may mean the time
displayed for the cycle becomes longer than was initially
estimated.
Progress lights
The progress lights indicate what part of the cycle the washer
is currently on (wash, rinse or spin). All three lights are on at
the beginning of the cycle. The light for the current part of the
cycle flashes, and each one goes out when that part of the
cycle is complete.
Keylock mode
Keylock can be used to lock the buttons on your washer. This
will avoid accidental button pushes. For more detail please
refer to the ‘Wash cycle options’ section.
