and 100 cm from the floor 

(see “Installation”)

.

into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of

‘U’ bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.

•  The ‘Temperature’ selector knob is in the “OFF” position

.

ture and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the programme 
times accordingly (see ‘ The machine wont spin properly’ below)

.
