Step 1
. Remove all outer packaging from the
machine. Check there is no damage to the machine
before continuing the installation process.

at the rear of the machine, taking care not to cut
the hose itself.

insulation base panel (corrugated plastic) to the
base of the machine using the self-adhesive strips.

Installation
Before installing the machine, ensure that the mains plug and water supply valves are
easily accessible from your chosen machine location.
Make sure there is enough space for the machine. Select a space at least 600mm wide
and 850mm high. Also leave enough space to open the door fully so you can load
and unload it easily.
Keep the area underneath and around the machine free of combustible materials such
as lint, paper, rags, chemicals etc.
All machines are tested with water prior to leaving the factory, so a small amount of
water may be present in the drum and the drain hose.
Flooding may occur if any part of the installation process is not completed correctly.
