(egmulti-socket outlet box), ensure that it is positioned so that it does
notcome into contact with water or moisture.
Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.

for safety reasons. It is possible to open the door during the cycle under certain
conditions (refer to page14).
Never force the door open.
Keep children away from the washer while it is in operation.
Supervise children to ensure they do not play with the washer or climb inside the

from the base of the machine. The space where you install your washer needs to be at
least 40mm wider and 20mm deeper than its dimensions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Location
IMPORTANT!
Install the machine on a solid and level floor surface ensuring it has at least 20mm
clearance on each side. The washer must not be installed on any soft or textured floor
coverings (eg carpet, rugs).
Note: This machine must not be installed and operated on a plinth.
Levelling the machine
It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure good spin
performance, and to minimise noise, vibrations and wear
and tear on the washer.
Before positioning the machine in its final position, check
1
that the machine is level, front to back and side to side.
Adjust the product into its final position (we suggest a
2
minimum clearance of 20mm each side).
Use a spirit level to check that the machine is correctly
3
level. If needed, pull the machine out. Loosen the lock nut
using the spanner provided and wind the feet up or down
to correctly level the machine.
Using the spanner provided, tighten the lock nuts against
4
the base of the machine to lock the feet in position.
Locking the feet
Connecting to the water supply
Inlet hoses
IMPORTANT!
Use new hose sets provided with the washer to connect
the washer to the water mains.
Old hose sets should not be re-used.
We recommend the inlet hoses are changed every 5 years.
WARNING: Failure to do so may result in a flood and
damage to property.
Connect the straight ends of the inlet hoses to the taps.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If you have an uncontrolled water heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating system)
you should fit a Hot ‘N’ Safe Valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature remains
within safe limits.
Hot ‘N’ Safe Valves available are:
RMC TVA 50HF
RMC TVA 75HFS
Adjustable between 35°C – 55°C
RMC TVA 50HP
For instantaneous gas hot water supply
Water supply requirements:
Inlet water pressure: Maximum 1MPa (150psi), Minimum 30kPa (4.5psi)
Inlet water flow rate: Minimum 6litres/minute
Cold supply only:
If you only have a cold water supply, the inlet valve cap (blanking cap) that came with
your washer must be connected to the hot inlet valve. The cap prevents water leaking
out of the hot valve. This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with
IEC61770. No further backflow protection is required for connection to the water supply.
Note: Your washer has an internal heater to heat water. If you do not connect a hot
water inlet hose, your washer will automatically recognise there is no hot water supply
and its internal heater will heat the cold water to the selected cycle temperature.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Draining
Placing the drain hose in a stand pipe or tub
To guide the drain hose over the tub or
1
standpipe, the hose guide must be fitted to
the drain hose. The height of the standpipe or
tub should be between 800 – 1200mm.
Secure the hose guide so it cannot be
2
dislodged from the standpipe or tub.
IMPORTANT!
If the drain hose is placed on the ground or
if the standpipe or tub is less than 800mm
high, the washing machine will continuously
drain while being filled (siphon).
Regularly check that your standpipe or tub
is free from lint or other obstructions, which
may affect how your machine works or may
cause flooding.
Attaching drain hose to spigot
Guide the drain hose through the hose guide.
1
Secure the hose guide to the back wall of
2
cupboard using a screw. The height of the
drain hose should be between 500 – 800mm
from ground level.
Attach the drain hose to the spigot and
3
secure using a hose clamp to ensure the
blanking insert is cleared from the spigot.
Check for leaks.
