5. Set the machine upright and remove the remaining
rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin.
6. Plug all the holes with the plugs which you will
find in the envelope containing the instruction
manual.
Important !
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-
use in case the machine is to be transported again.
In case of moving out the same precautions as per
paragraph “The dangers of freezing” must be
taken i.e. the residual water in the hoses must be
pumped out.
Keep all packaging away from children
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.
Your new washing machine 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 suitable existing tap with the
drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has one 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 plumber merchants to suit most domestic
plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing
must be carried out by a competent person, or
qualified plumber.
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
beams with screws. If possible install the appliance in
one of the corners of the room, where the floor is
more stable.

1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the two
rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic
