3.3 ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Carefu y read the insta ation instructions in point 3 on page 6 of the washer dryer insta ation manua .
2. After the initia instructions have been adhered to. I.e. removing transit bo ts and fitting the adjustab e feet etc.
Using a spirit eve , make sure that the washer dryer is comp ete y eve and the overa height of the egs,
inc uding the rubber foot and the ocking nuts, is no greater than 25mm maximum.
3. When insta ing the washer dryer you must ensure that the eg ocking nuts are firm y tightened.
Under no circumstances shou d the washer dryer be insta ed with the front egs higher than the rear. If
attention is required in eve ing the furniture door then we wou d advise fitting the “push-push” catch and the
rubber furniture door buffer. It is important to note that any other insta ation other than one of a eve nature
cou d induce vibration or excessive movement of the washer dryer, especia y on the spin cyc e.
4. The machine shou d be insta ed direct y onto a c ean, sound and eve f oor, and as ow as possib e. P ease
note this machine shou d not be insta ed on carpets, foam-backed f ooring, aminate and parquet f oors. If,
however, for cosmetic purposes the machine height needs to be raised, it must not be done so by raising the
height of the egs, but via an additiona baseboard.
As a manufacture we do not recommend or specify any particu ar means by which to raise the washer dryer,
but have found that dense board, between 18mm and 40mm in thickness, grip-fixed and screwed to the f oor
and capab e of supporting the weight of the washer dryer without distortion, and cut to the dimensions of the
machine base appears to be good insta ation practice.
P ease note that any materia that has a shiny or a s ippery finish shou d not be used.
5. F oating f oors. As more apartments are being bui t with f oating f oors, additiona care must be taken when
insta ing the washer dryers. The current f ooring specifications state that additiona bracing must be insta ed
in areas direct y be ow e ectric storage heaters and door thresho ds. It is important to note that whi st some
e ectric storage heaters have a weight of 80kgs, washer dryers, when oaded, have a combined weight in
excess of 90kgs and the osci ating nature of any oaded washer dryer wi de iver varying stresses and
oadings on to the adjacent f oor area.
However because f oating f ooring manufacturers current specifications do not state that additiona bracing is
required in the f oor area be ow heavy domestic app iances the f ooring area be ow washer dryers is genera y
on y supported in one direction and not two as is the case with e ectric storage heaters. Therefore in order to
provide the house purchaser with additiona peace of mind, and to prevent any unnecessary vibration and
osci ation in the kitchen area we wou d advise house bui ders to consider fitting additiona f oor bracing at the
time of f oor insta ation to a simi ar specification to that which is required for the insta ation of e ectric storage
heaters.
6. The idea base surface for any heavy domestic app iance to stand on is one of so id concrete, as any minor
eak from the domestic water supp y wi not adverse y effect the area adjacent to the washer dryer, as any
eak onto a f oating and/or wood aminate f oor cou d cause extensive water damage.
P ease note that as these machines are water tested prior to eaving our factory a sma amount of residua
water wi be present in the hoses, therefore care must be taken to prevent any minor water spi age during
insta ation. P ease a so ensure that the water feed hose are correct y fitted and tightened, both at the mains
and the machine connectors.
7. P ease ensure that insta ation is carried out in accordance to the above insta ation instructions. As fai ure to
do so cou d inva idate the guarantee.
3.4 WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
1. Check that in et pressure ies between the fo owing va ues: 50-900kPa. For higher
pressures, insta a pressure reducer.
2. Connect the cold water in et hose (light bl e ring nut) to the co d water tap with a ¾
gas thread, taking care to screw it firm y into p ace in order to prevent eaks. The water
in et hose must not be bent or crushed and must not be rep aced or cut.
3. If a hot water in et is used, in et water temperature must not exceed 60°C and the
hose with the red ring nut must be connected to the hot water tap.
Attention!
• If the water pipe is new or has not been used for a ong time, et a certain amount of water run before
attaching the in et hose. This stops any deposits of sand and other impurities from c ogging the fi ters used
by the machine to protect the water in et va ves.
• The new hose-set supp ied with the app iance are to be used and the o d hose-set shou d not be reused
