BEFORE YOU DO YOUR FIRST WASH

You owe it to yourself and your washer to have your washer installed correctly.

Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the following checklist:

1

  Has the base space packer been removed? Refer to page 6.

2

  Is the drain hose threaded through the ‘U bend’ (with no more than 20 mm extended) 

and hooked into your tub or standpipe? Refer to page 6.

3

  Is the hot hose connected to the Hot valve marked ‘H’? Is the cold hose connected to 

the Cold valve marked ‘C’? Refer to page 8.

4

  Is the washer correctly levelled, feet are extended and cabinet corners are clear of the 

floor? Refer to page 9.

5

  Have you performed the installation test cycle? Refer to page 10.
