Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is
not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the
machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen
units.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials
under the machine to compensate for any unevenness
in the floor.
If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft
material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to
prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base
should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of
the machine.
Warning
The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile
carpeting.
Installation on a suspended floor
Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible
to vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend
you place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm
thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor
boards with screws. If possible install the appliance in
one of the corners of the room, where the floor is
more stable.
Note
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
Plumbing in
Your new washer-dryer has been designed to be
permanently plumbed in to your home’s water supply
and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it
may be connected to a suitable existing tap with the
drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has an inlet hose, with female 3/4” BSP
thread connector. If this connection is not compatible
with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety
of connectors are available from good hardware stores
and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic
