For guidance on how to install your product, please refer to installation instructions
contained in this document.
Water supply requirements:
z
Inlet water static pressure: Max. 1MPa (145psi), 50kPa (7.3psi)
z
Inlet water flow rate at tap: Min. 8 litres /min.
z
A pressure-reducing valve must be installed if pressure is higher than 1MPa.
z
For optimum wash performance check the supply pressure is within the
recommendedrange.
z
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.

UNPACKING WATER SUPPLY
Unpacking
To ensure the best performance from your new washer please follow the instructionsbelow.
Your washer is heavy, we recommend two persons to move and install.
1 Remove the outer packaging.
2 Using two people, lift the washer up and away from the base packer.
Hold the base packer down while lifting the washer up. Move base
packer to side and place the machine gently on floor.
3 Lift the lid and remove the drum packer from the drum.
4 Remove the hoses and accessories.
5 Keep the base packer and drum packer in case they
are required for future transit.
Ensure that the base packer has been removed before operating your machine.
Water supply requirements
If you have an uncontrolled water heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating system) you
should fit a tempering valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature remains within safe
limits. Contact your registered plumber to select and install the tempering valve.
Your cold water should not exceed 35°C and your hot water should not exceed 65°C.
Temperatures above these may cause the washer to fault or cause damage to the washer.
Inlet hose(s)
Failure to adhere to the following guidance may result in
a flood and damage to property. Only use the new hose
set(s) provided with your washer.
1 Connect the straight ends of the inlet hose(s) to the
tap(s), thereare washers fitted in both ends.
2 Connect the elbow ends to the corresponding washer
inlet valves. If present, the hot valve is coloured
orange to make this easier.
3 Tighten the inlet hose(s) ends by hand until the hose
seal just makes contact with the tap-sealing face.
Continue to tighten a further half-turn.
4 Make sure there are no kinks in the hose(s).
5 Turn the tap(s) on and check for leaks. Check for leaks
again after 24 hours.
Cold supply only
If you only have a cold water supply, you must connect the inlet valve cap (blanking cap)
provided with your washer to the hot inlet valve. The cap prevents water leaking out of the hot
valve. This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with AS3500.1/IEC61770. No
further backflow protection is required for connection to the water supply.
Installing the bottom plate
The bottom plate is installed to reduce noise from the washing machine during use.
1 Tilt the machine backwards against a supported wall.
2 Place the plate onto the bottom of the machine.
3 Clip and screw the bottom plate to the washer.
4 Once the screw is tight and the bottom plate is secure, return the
washer to it’s standing position.

DRAINING
LEVELLING THE WASHER
In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the washer should be installed on a floor
equipped with a drain. Draining must comply with local by-laws.
Installing Drain hose
1 Remove the cap of the drain hose outlet. Note: A small amount of
water may come out when the cap is removed. This is normal as
there maybe some water left in the pump as the machine is tested
during manufacture.
2 Connect the drain hose to the connection point on the lower right
side of the cabinet rear, and fasten with drain hose clamp (provided).
Place the drain hose in a tub or standpipe
The hose guide is used to hold the drain hose over the tub or standpipe.
1 Flex the guide apart and pull the hose
through the guide.
20 mm
max.
2 Ensure a maximum of 20mm of the hose
is left exposed at the end.
3 Secure the hose guide to prevent it
dislodging from the standpipe or tub.
4 Do not fit the hose to a drain spigot.
Drainage must not be airtight in order to
prevent siphoning.
Levelling instructions
It is IMPORTANT to level the washer to ensure good spin performance.
Your washer is equipped with adjustable feet at the front. Ensure they do not move once you
have levelled your washer by hand-tightening the locknuts on each of the feet.
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 allowing for required clearances.
Release the rear feet:
z
1
Close the lid and tilt washer forward away
from the wall. Gently lower washer down.
Level the washer side to side:
z
Check whether washer rocks from side to
2
side. Wind the front feet up or down to
correct any rocking. Open the lid and check
the drum is in a central position.
If the drain hose is placed on the ground or if the tub or standpipe is less than 900mm
high, the washer will continuously drain (siphon) while being filled.
Tub or standpipe height should be a minimum of 900mm.
Regularly check that your tub or standpipe is free from lint or other obstructions. This may
affect operation or cause flooding.
If in future the product needs to be moved, disconnect the drain hose to prevent damage.
Have a towel handy to absorb residual water, then refit the drain cap. Place the drain hose
inside the drum during transportation, and storage.
The pump filter cap on the lower rear of the machine is not to be removed by anyone other
than a trained service technician.

3
Level the washer front to back:
z
Open the lid, check the drum is still in a
central position.
z
Wind the front left or right foot up or
down, to adjust. There should be equal
weight on both front feet. There must be
no rocking in any direction, and the bowl
must be in a central position.
z
If the washer is not level repeat the above
steps.
z
Once level, hand tighten the locknuts on
the front feet.
If moving or transporting your washer in the
future, ensure you tape the lid down.
