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 mm
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.
Water intake
At the factory, the machine is set for connecting to both
hot and cold water supplies. The machine can be set for
cold water intake only. See the section “Settings”.
Hot water connection
A few seconds after you start a program 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.
DRAINAGE CONNECTION
A water outlet hose is included with the machine. This
is attached to the machine’s outlet and routed to a
fl
oor
drain or drainage pipe.
NOTE!
The height of the mouth of the outlet hose must be
lower than the lowest part of the outlet valve.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
If the machine is delivered from the factory with a plug
attached it can be connected to an earthed wall socket.
Otherwise, a permanent connection using a multipolar
circuit breaker must be made by a quali
fi
ed professional.
