Unpacking

To ensure the best performance from your new washer please follow the instructions below.

Removing the packaging

Remove the outer packaging (including the polystyrene packer and plastic wrapping). All

packaging must be removed prior to use. Ensure these materials are kept out of reach of children. Note: a small amount of water may be seen inside the packaging and inside the washer. This is the result of factory testing and is normal.

Tilt the machine backwards and ‘walk’ it off the base one foot at a time. Not doing so

may cause damage to your floor and washer.

Remove all packaging and accessories from inside the drum.

Removing the transit bolts

The clothes washer is fitted with 4 transit bolts at the rear to avoid damage during transportation.

ImpORTANT!

The 4 transit bolts MUST be removed prior to operation of the machine. Failure to remove these will result in damage to the machine.

To remove the bolts:

Use a spanner or socket to unscrew and remove all four transit bolts at the back of the

washer (C).

Pull the black rubber grommets to remove the bolt, grommet and white plastic spacers

from the machine. Keep the transit bolts in case they are required for future transit of the machine. Never transport the machine without the transit bolts properly fixed in place.

Cover the bolt holes with the white plastic plugs which are attached to the machine and

located near each hole (p). Push to clip into place.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Location

ImpORTANT!

Install the machine on a solid and level floor surface ensuring it has at least 20mm clearance on each side. The washer must not be installed on any textured floor coverings (eg carpet, rugs).

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

that the machine is level, front to back and side to side.

Manoeuvre the product into its final position (we suggest a

minimum clearance of 20mm each side).

Use a spirit level to check that the machine is correctly

level. If needed, pull the machine out and wind the feet up or down to correctly level the machine.

Using the spanner provided, tighten the lock nuts against

ImpORTANT!



New hose sets provided with the washer should be used 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 1MPa (150psi), Minimum 30kPa (4.5psi)



Inlet water flow rate: Minimum 6litres/minute

Cold supply only:

If you only have a cold water supply, the inlet valve cap (blanking cap) which 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 AS3500.1. 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 required cycle temperature.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Draining

Drain hose placement in a stand pipe or tub

To guide the drain hose over the tub or

standpipe the hose guide must be fitted to the drain hose. The height of the standpipe or tub should be between 800–1200mm.

Secure the hose guide so it cannot become

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 800mm 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 drain hose through hose guide

Secure hose guide to back wall of cupboard

using a screw. The height of the drain hose should be between 500–800mm from ground level.

BEFORE YOU DO YOUR FIRST WASH

Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the following checklist:

Have the packaging and transit bolts been removed?

Is the drain hose threaded through the ‘Ubend’ (with no more than 20mm extended)

and hooked into your standpipe or tub, or attached to a spigot?

Is the hot hose connected to the hot valve (colour-coded orange)? Is the cold hose

connected to the cold valve (colour-coded white)? Have the taps been turned on?

Is the machine correctly levelled, feet are locked and cabinet corners clear of the floor

and walls?

Has the power cord been connected to an appropriate power supply and the power

turned on?

Have you performed the installation test cycle?

We recommend you complete your first cycle with a half-load amount of detergent

and without a load in order to remove any residues remaining in the machine from the manufacturing process.

ImpORTANT!

You must ensure all 4transit bolts have been removed from your washer before you start using it. If the transit bolts are not removed, they will damage your washer and YOUR MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY WILL BE COMPROMISED.
