(eg multi-socket outlet box), ensure that it is positioned so that it does
not come into contact with water or moisture.
Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.

It is IMPORTANT to level the washer to ensure good spin performance.
A spirit level is provided with your washer. Use this to level your washer, always placing it on a
clean, flat surface. The washer is level when the bubble sits in the centre, within the two lines.
Your washer is equipped with self-locking feet at the front to ensure they do not move
once you have levelled your washer. To adjust the feet, tilt the washer back and twist to
move them up or down.
Note: after levelling, the corners of the washer should be clear of the floor and the washer
must not rock in any direction.
Move the washer to its final position using the
1
top corners to manoeuvre the product into
place (do not push on the centre front of the
washer). We recommend a minimum clearance
of 20mm each side and 40mm at the rear of
the washer.
Open the lid, place the spirit level at the centre
