INSTALLATION

Location of washer

• The washer must be placed in a well ventilated area with the back of the washer not less
than 10cm (4 inches) from the wall, 4.5cm (1¾ inches) from the left and 2cm (¾ inch)
clear from the right side.

• Check location where the washer is intended to be installed. Make sure you have
everything necessary for correct installation.

• All foam packing including the fixing frame on the base should be removed, otherwise the
washing machine will not work.

• Do not place or store washer below 0

o

C (32 F) to avoid any damage from freezing.

• Install washer on an even, horizontal and firm floor. If the washer is installed on an
unsuitable floor, it could make considerable noise, vibrate severely and cause a
malfunction. If the washer is not level, the adjustable foot can be rotated up or down to
obtain level installation. (The adjustable fool is on the left front of the cabinet).

• To make sure the washer is level (refer illustration below), use a thread tied with a bulky
object and hang to the side face of the machine. Rotate the adjustable foot until A=A',
B=B' (as the illustration).

• After the adjustment the fixing pole should be tightened.

Note:

There should be no swaying of washer and all the legs should stick to the floor closely.

• Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washer is installed on
a carpeted floor.

Installation of water inlet hoses

Important: For satisfactory operation, water supply pressure must be between 0.1 MPa and

0.6 Mpa.

WARNING: The washing machine is to be connected to the water supply using new hose­sets and that old hose-sets should not be reused.

1. Attach the straight end of the water inlet hose to the thread of the Cold water tap. The

Skirtlike nut should be hand tightened plus one half turn with pliers.

2. Attach the other end of the hose to the corresponding inlet thread of the washing machine

and tighten (as 1 above).

3. Attach the other hose to the Hot water tap and the corresponding inlet thread of the

washing machine and tighten (as 1 above).

Important:

• After installing the inlet hoses, do not immediately switch on the power. Open the tap,
check both ends of the hose for water leakage.

• If the inlet hose is difficult to install or screw to the tap etc., we recommend you can call
experienced person to help.

• Both hoses must be connected, otherwise water may discharge from the unconnected
inlet.

WARNING:

PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE HOT WATER TAP IS CONNECTED TO THE HOT WATER
INLET AND THE COLD WATER TAP IS CONNECTED TO THE COLD WATER INLET OF
THE WASHING MACHINE.

Installation of drain hose

Squeeze the fixing ring with your fingers (or pliers) to
open over the flexible drain hose, place the flexible
drain hose over the inner hose located in the bottom
left side of the washing machine.
Note: If the flexible drain hose is tight and difficult to fit
to the inner hose, soak the head of the drain hose in
warm water prior to fitting to the inner hose.
Pass the fitting ring over the hose and fasten over the
connection by squeezing the ring with your fingers or
pliers.

Recommend the outlet of the drain hose be
permanently connected to a drainage connection or
securely fitted to a suitable sink or trough with overflow
outlet.

CAUTION: Do not place the washer outside, or in an open to the moisture area (rain, hosing,
pool, etc.), close to curtains, blinds, etc., or near gas supply or appliances, or in a flammable
area.

Important: Always operate the washer from a power source of the same Voltage, Frequency
and Rating, as indicated on the washing machine identification plate. Operate the Washing
Machine from an Earthed (Grounded) 3 pin power outlet fully accessible when the washing
machine is in its normal operating position.
