MOVING AND TRANSPORT AFTER INSTALLATION
If you wish to move the washing machine after it has been installed, the angular pieces and at
least one blocking rods have to be re-installed to prevent vibration damage to the washing machine
during transport (see chapter »INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION/Removing the blocking rods«). If
you lost the angular pieces and the blocking rods, they can be ordered from the manufacturer.
After transport, the washing machine should be left to stand still for at least two hours
before it is connected to the power mains, so that it can reach room temperature. The
appliance should be installed and connected by a trained technician.
Carefully read the instructions for use before connecting the washing machine. Repair or
any warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the washing machine shall
not be covered by the warranty.
820696en.indd 15820696en.indd 15 17. 02. 2021 06:55:5217. 02. 2021 06:55:52

Incorrect levelling of the washing machine with the adjustable legs may cause vibration,
appliance sliding across the room, and loud operation. Incorrect levelling of the washing machine is
not subject to warranty.
Sometimes, unusual or louder noise may appear during appliance operation; these are mostly
the result of improper installation.
1Level the washing
machine in
longitudinal and
traverse direction by
rotating the adjustable
feet.
2After adjusting
the height of the
feet, firmly tighten the
jam nuts (counter nuts)
using a spanner No
17, by turning them
towards the bottom of
the washing machine
(see figure).
SELECTING THE ROOM
Floor on which the washing machine is placed must have a concrete base. It should be clean
and dry; otherwise, the washing machine may slide. Also, clean the bottom surface of adjustable
feet.
The washing machine must stand level and stable on a solid base.
ADJUSTING THE WASHING MACHINE FEET
Use a water scale and spanner No. 32 (for feet) and 17 (for the nut).
820696en.indd 16820696en.indd 16 17. 02. 2021 06:55:5317. 02. 2021 06:55:53

WASHING MACHINE PLACEMENT
If you also have a Hisense dryer of corresponding (same) dimensions, it can be placed on top of the
Hisense washing machine (in this case, vacuum feet must be used) or next to it (figures 1 and 3).
If your Hisense washing machine is smaller (minimum depth 545 mm) than your Hisense dryer, then
the dryer support has to be purchased (figure 2). It is essential to use the vacuum feet! Additional
equipment (dryer support (a) and vacuum feet (b)) are available for purchase at service units.
The surface on which the appliance is placed should be clean and level.
Hisense washing machine onto which you intend to place the Hisense dryer should hold the weight
of the Hisense dryer (see chapter »WASHING MACHINE DESCRIPTION/Technical information«).

For normal washing machine operation, the pressure in the water mains should be between 0.05
and 0.8 MPa (0,5 - 8 bar). Minimum dynamic water pressure can be determined by measuring the
water flow. In 15 seconds, 3 litres of water should flow from a fully open tap.
If your model has connections for both hot and cold water, then connect one hose to the
cold water supply (blue wing nut or blue mark on the hose) and the other one to the hot water
supply (red wing nut or red mark on the hose), as indicated on the back of the washing machine.
Connections are labelled with letters C and H (C = cold, H = hot). Warm water (mixture of hot and
cold water) is only added for programmes at 40 °C or higher.
Tighten the water supply hose by hand, firmly enough for the hose to have a good seal (max. 2 Nm).
After connecting the hose, the seal must be checked for any leaks. Do not use pliers or similar tools
when connecting the hose as this could damage the nut thread.
Only use the water supply hose supplied with the appliance. Do not use any used or other hoses.
