Important
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to
pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that
may have collected in the pipes.
Whether discharging
into a sink or a
standpipe, check that
the end of the drain
hose is neither too high
nor too low. The top of
the curve in the hose’s
end should be no more
than 85 cm (34”) and
no less than 50 cm
(20”) above floor level.
Levelling
Level the washing machine by loosening or tightening the
feet. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation. After
levelling the machine, secure the feet by tightening the ring
nuts with the aid of a screwdriver.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a
wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible, always
place the machine on a solid floor.
Special conditions
If the floor is carpeted with a deep-pile carpet 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 directly on deep pile
carpeting.
Note
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
All plumbing and electrical work required to install this
appliance must be carried out by competent persons or
qualified plumbers or electricians.
IN THE INTEREST OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Washing machines and dishwashers should be connected to
the FOUL drainage system, the water will then be taken to a
sewage works for treatment before being discharged safely
into a river.
It is essential that these appliances are not connected to the
surface water drainage system as this water is discharged di-
rectly into a river or stream and may cause pollution.
If you require any further advice please contact your local
authority drainage department.
