INSTALLATION
POSITIONING THE WASHING MACHINE
The washing machine can be installed as a built-in or
freestanding unit. Place the machine on a
fi
rm 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. Leave a 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
fl
oor. Tighten the lock nuts.

CONNECTION TO WATER SUPPLY
Water connection should be carried out by an
appropriately quali
fi
ed person. Connect the machine
using the accompanying supply hose. Water pressure
should be 0.1–1MPa (approx. 1–10kp/cm2 ; 10–100N/
cm2). There should be a stopcock on the water pipe.
If the pipes are newly installed, it may be wise to
fl
ush them through so that any dirt is washed away.
Otherwise, dirt can clog the
fi
lter in the machine’s water
intake and cut o
ff
cut o
ff
or reduce water
fl
ow to the
machine. Check for leaks.
Use only the supply hose supplied with the machine. Do
not re-use old hoses or other loose supply hoses.
HOT WATER CONNECTION
A few seconds after you start a programme the washing
machine will begin to
fi
ll with water from both the hot
and the cold supplies. If for some reason no hot water is
available, the machine waits for one minute and then
fi
lls
with cold water only. The wash drum does not start to
rotate until it begins to
fi
ll with water.
If you choose to connect your ECO-machine to only the
cold water it is important that you shut o
ff
the hot water
connection. Now select “Hot water O
ff
”. If your machine
is connected to both hot and cold water, you should
select “Hot water On”.
If the appliance is not connected to the hot water line,
then deactivate the function in the User Menu (See
chapter Settings).
DRAINAGE CONNECTION
The machine is supplied with a drainage hose attached,
which must be connected to a drain. See the examples
below. The height must be 600–900 mm above
fl
oor
level.
The lower position (600 mm) is always preferable.
Ensure that the drainage hose has no kinks.
600--900 mm
The machine can also be connected to the drain via a
spigot connection. In this case the hose should also be
600-900 mm above the
fl
oor. The internal diameter of
the hole should be at least 18 mm.
• Cut the nipple
• Remove burrs from the hole.
See the illustration.
At least 18 mm
