Installation
Positioning the washing machine
The washing machine can be installed as a
built-in or freestanding unit. Place the machine
on a firm 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. Leavea 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 floor.
Tighten the lock nuts.

Connection to water supply
Water connection should be carried out by an
appropriately qualified 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 flush them through so that any dirt is washed
away. Otherwise, dirt can clog the filter in the
machine’s water intake and cut off the water
supply.
Use only the supply hose supplied with the
machine.
Do not re-use old hoses or other loose supply
hoses.
