Installing Your Washing Machine
Please read and follow the instructions carefully.
• In addition to the instructions mentioned here, special regulations of the relevant water and power
supply companies may apply. If in doubt, have the washing machine connected by a qualified
technician.
• The washing machine is heavy - caution when lifting it. Do not lift by projecting components (e.g.
washing machine door).
• Warning: Frozen hoses may tear/burst. Do not install washing machine in outdoor areas or where
there is a risk of frost.
• Lay hoses and cables in such a way that there is no risk of trapping or kinking.
Choosing the Right Location for Your Washing Machine
• Make sure there’s enough space for your washing machine.
• Install your washing machine on a flat, stable surface to avoid excessive vibration and noise.
• Don’t install your washing machine in direct sunlight or in a place where temperatures reach
freezing.
Additional space (240mm) is required for the rear side of the washing machine. This is to
allow enough space for the water hose and drain hose.
Two or more people are required to carry
the washing machine.

Sloping
surface
Unstable Bumpy

Moving and Installing
Removing the Transit Bolts
Four transit bolts keep the interior of the washing machine in place while it’s being moved.
They need to be removed before installation. Use a spanner (not supplied) and follow the instructions
detailed below.
Moving the Washing Machine from One Location to Another
Before you move the washing machine:
• Shut off the tap and run the washing machine to drain the water. Drain any remaining water from
the pump hose.
• Disconnect the mains cable.
• Attach the transit bolts.
To remove the transit bolts:
1. Use a spanner to loosen the four bolts. They are located at the rear side of the washing machine.
2. Pull the bolts out horizontally. Make sure the entire bolt is removed.
3. Push the four cover caps (included with your accessories) into the respective bolt holes.
1 2 3
Don’t run the washing machine without removing the transit bolts, as this can
cause excessive vibrations.
You’ll need the anchor bolts again if you move the washing machine, so make
sure you keep them in a safe place.
Make sure the anchor bolts are fixed prior to moving the washing machine.

INSTALLATION
S814WM12_IB_120419_Zell.indd 6 19/04/2012 6:33 PM

Levelling the Washing Machine
There are 4 levelling feet on the underside. They must be adjusted to make sure the washing machine
is level.
1. On each stand, loosen the lock nut by turning it clockwise with a spanner.
2. Adjust all four feet by rotating upwards or downwards.
3. Use a spirit level to ensure the washing machine is level.
4. Tighten each lock nut by turning them anti-clockwise (towards the
washing machine body), again using a spanner.
Ensure all four lock nuts are tightened securely. Check the feet are still bolted to
the washing machine - if they’re unbolted, the washing machine will move around.
Water Supply Hose
Points to remember
• Follow the instructions in this section to avoid water leaks.
• Don’t connect the hose to a combination tap.
• Don’t twist, squash, modify or cut the hose.
• Optimum water pressure in the water mains pipe is 0.03 MPa - 0.8 MPa. If the water pressure is set
higher than this, you will need to install a depressurising valve. Water-flow from the tap should be
more than 5 litres per minute. If you’re unsure, ask a qualified technician to connect the hose.
• This unit must only be connected to cold water mains using the new water inlet hose provided.
Connecting the Water Supply Hose
1. Attach the hose to a tap, and tighten the
plastic joint by hand.
2. Open the tap slowly and check that there are
no leaks around the joint.

Water Drain Hose
Points to remember:
• Don’t twist, pull out or bend the drain hose.
• Your washing machine should be no more than 85cm from the drain outlet.
Draining to a sink or wash-basin
• Secure the drain hose in position, so it can’t drop out of the basin.
• Don’t block the basin’s drain outlet, and make sure that the drainage through it is sufficient.
• Don’t let the tip of the drain hose dip into the drained water, as this can cause the water to flow
back into the washing machine.

• If the mains cable or mains plug are damaged, stop using them and call a qualified technician for
assistance.
