Getting Started
Please Read And Follow The Instructions Carefully.
• In addition to the instructions mentioned here, special regulations of the relevant
water and power supply companies may apply. If in doubt, have the washing machine
connected by a qualified technician.
• The washing machine is heavy - caution when lifting it. Do not lift by projecting
components (e.g. washing machine door).
• Warning: Frozen hoses may tear/burst. Do not install washing machine in outdoor
areas or where there is a risk of frost.
• Lay hoses and cables in such a way that there is no risk of tripping over them.
NOTE: An additional space (approximately 120mm) is required at the rear of the washing
machine. This is to allow enough space for the water hose and drain hose connections.
Choosing the right location for your washing machine
• Make sure there’s enough space for your washing machine.
• Install your washing machine on a flat, stable surface to avoid excessive vibrations
and noise.
• Don’t install your washing machine in direct sunlight or in a place where temperatures
can reach freezing.
• The ventilation openings in the base of the washing machine must not be obstructed
by carpet.
• Start by tilting the washing machine backwards.
• One person should stand behind it, holding the rear of the top panel. The other
person should grip the bottom feet at the front.
• Check that you have all the required accessories for installation.
• We recommend that you entrust the installation of the washing machine to a qualified
technician.
Removing the transport bolts
Transport bolts keep the interior of the washing machine in place while it’s being
moved.
They need to be removed before installation. Use a spanner (not supplied) and follow
the instructions detailed below.
NOTE: Don’t run the washing machine without removing the transport bolts, as this can
cause excessive vibrations and may damage your machine.
