Installation
Positioning the washing machine
The washing machine can be installed as a
built-in or freestanding unit. Place the machine
on a
fi
rm surface with easy access to the plug.
A. Built-in
The washing machine can be installed under
a counter top with a working height of 850-900
mm. Leave a 5 cm space around the entire
machine, including between the rear edge of the
top cover and the wall behind it.
B. Freestanding
The washing machine can be positioned beside
or under a tumble dryer.
Adjusting the feet
Keep the noise that the machine produces to
a minimum by adjusting the feet so that the
machine is steady and balanced on the
fl
oor.
Tighten the lock nuts.
Locking nut
Connection to water supply
Water connection should be carried out by an
appropriately quali
fi
ed person. Connect the
machine using the accompanying supply hose.
Water pressure should be 0.1–1MPa (approx.
1–10kp/cm
2
; 10–100N/cm
2
). There should be a
stopcock on the water pipe.
If the pipes are newly installed, it may be wise
to
fl
ush them through so that any dirt is washed
away. Otherwise, dirt can clog the
fi
lter in the
machine’s water intake and cut o
ff
the water
supply.
Use only the supply hose supplied with the
machine.
Do not re-use old hoses or other loose supply
hoses.
Water intake
At the factory, the machine is set for connecting
to both hot and cold water supplies. The
machine can be set for cold water intake only.
See the section "Settings".
Hot water connection
(depending on the model)
A few seconds after you start a programme the
washing machine will begin to
fi
ll with water from
both the hot and the cold supplies. If for some
reason no hot water is available, the machine
waits for one minute and then
fi
lls with cold
water only. The wash drum does not start to
rotate until it begins to
fi
ll with water.
If the appliance is not connected to the hot
water line, then deactivate the function in the
User Menu.
(See chapter Settings.)
