Getting Started

To remove the transport bolts:

1. Use a spanner to loosen the bolts. They are located

at the rear of the washing machine.

2. Pull the bolts out horizontally. Make sure the entire

bolt is removed.

3. Push the transport hole plugs (included with your

accessories) into the respective bolt holes.

You’ll need the transport bolts again if you move the washing machine, so make sure 
you keep them in a safe place.

Moving the washing machine from one location to another

Before you move the washing machine:

• Shut off the tap and run the washing machine to drain the water. Drain any remaining

water from the pump hose.

• Disconnect the mains cable.

• Attach the transport bolts.

NOTE: Make sure to fix the transport bolts prior to moving the washing machine.

Two or more people are required to move 

the washing machine.

Levelling the washing machine

There are levelling feet on the underside of the washing machine. They must be adjusted 
to make sure the washing machine is level.

1. On each foot, loosen the lock ring by turning it

clockwise.

2. Adjust all feet by rotating each upwards or

downwards.

3. Use a spirit level to ensure the washing machine is

level.

4. Tighten each lock ring by turning them anti-clockwise

(towards the washing machine body).

Ensure all lock rings are tightened securely. Check that the feet are still bolted to the 
washing machine - if they’re unbolted, the washing machine will move around.
