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 main pipe is 0.03 MPa - 1.0 MPa. If the water pressure is set higher
than this, you will need to install a depressurising valve. Ensure the water flow amount and speed
from the tap is sufficient. 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.
• If your washing machine is delivered in freezing weather conditions, leave it at room temperature
for 24 hours after you’ve set it up before using it. This ensures there’s no ice blocking the water
supply hose. If your water supply hose freezes, add 2 or 3 litres of warm water to the drum. Then
run a “Drain” only programme.
Connecting the Water Supply Hose
1. Connect the nut on the inlet hose to the
connector on the water valve.
2. Apply inlet hose to a water tap with cold, fresh
water.
3. Open the tap slowly and check that there are
no leaks around the joint.

joint
• The joint is subject to water pressure.
• Use the hose set supplied with the appliance. Old hose sets should not be reused.
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 in this way.
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.
