INSTALLATION
Installation Place
Requirements
Before installing the appliance, check the following
information to make sure that the appliance
should be installed in a correct place.
Installation Location
• This appliance must be installed on firm flooring
to minimize vibration during the spin cycle.
Concrete flooring is best, being far less prone to
vibration during the spin cycle than wooden
floorboards or a carpeted surface.
• If it is impossible to avoid positioning the
appliance next to a gas cooker or coal burning
stove, an insulation (850 X 600 mm) covered with
aluminum foil on the side facing the cooker or
stove must be inserted between the two
appliances.
• Ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is
easily accessible for an engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
• When installing the appliance, adjust all four feet
using the transit bolt spanner provided to
ensure the appliance is stable.
• This appliance must only be used for domestic
household purposes and should not be used in
mobile applications.
• Never try to level any uneven floor by putting
pieces of wood, cardboard or similar materials
under the appliance.
Wooden Floors (Suspended
Floors)
When installing the appliance on wooden floors,
use rubber cups to reduce excessive vibration and
unbalance. Timber or suspended type flooring may
contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance,
errors and malfunction.
Floor Installation
To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet hoses,
drain hose and airflow, allow minimum clearances
of at least 20 mm at the sides and 100 mm behind
the appliance. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or
floor moldings that may increase the required
clearances.

C
100 mm
5 mm
20 mm
• To reduce vibration, we recommend placing at
least 15 mm thickness of rubber cups
each adjusting foot of the appliance, secured to
at least two floor beams with screws.
• If possible, install the appliance in one of the
corners of the room, where the floor is more
stable.
• Fit the rubber cups to reduce vibration.
• If the appliance is installed on the unstable floor
(e.g. wooden floor), the warranty does not cover
any damages and cost occurred due to the
installation on the unstable floor.

Unpacking the Appliance
EN
Ventilation
• Make sure that air circulation around the
appliance should not be impeded by carpets,
rugs, etc.
Ambient Temperature
• Do not install the appliance in rooms where
freezing temperatures may occur. Frozen hoses
may burst under pressure. The reliability of the
electronic control unit may be impaired at
temperatures below freezing point.
• If the appliance is delivered in winter and
temperatures are below freezing, place the
appliance at room temperature for a few hours
before putting it into operation.
Electrical Connection
• Do not use an extension cord or double adapter.
• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the
water supply after use.
• Connect the appliance to an earthed socket in
accordance with current wiring regulations.
• The appliance must be positioned so that the
plug is easily accessible.
• Power outlet must be within 1 meter of either
side of the appliance.
Lifting the Appliance Off the
Foam Base
* This feature may vary depending on the model
purchased.
After removing the carton and shipping material,
lift the appliance off the foam base.
• Make sure the tub support
the base and is not stuck to the bottom of the
appliance.

Removing the Transit Bolt
Assemblies
To prevent the appliance from severe vibration and
breakage, remove transit bolts and retainers.
1
Starting with the bottom two transit bolts a,
use the spanner (included) to fully loosen all
transit bolts by turning them counterclockwise.
2
Remove the bolt assemblies by wiggling them
slightly while pulling them out.

Levelling the Appliance
Checking the Level
When pushing down the edges of the top plate
diagonally, the appliance should not move up and
down at all (check both directions).
• If the appliance rocks when pushing the top
plate of the appliance diagonally, adjust the feet
again.
• Check whether the appliance is perfectly level
after installation.
• Timber or suspended type flooring may
contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance.
Reinforcement or bracing of the timber floor
may need to be considered to stop or reduce
excessive noise and vibration.
Adjusting and Levelling the
Feet
When installing the appliance, the appliance
should be aligned and perfectly level. If the
appliance is not aligned and level properly, the
appliance may be damaged or may not operate
properly.
• Save the transit bolts and retainers for future
use.
• Transport this appliance for the prevention of
breakage as below:
- The transit bolts are reinstalled.
- The power cord is secured to the back of the
appliance.
1
Turn the levelling feet as required if the floor is
uneven.
• Do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the
feet.
• Make sure that all four feet are stable and
resting on the floor.

Using Anti-Slip Sheets
This feature may vary depending on the model
purchased.
If you install the appliance on a slippery surface, it
may move because of excessive vibration.
Incorrect levelling may cause malfunction through
noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the antislip sheets under the levelling feet and adjust the
level.
1
Clean the floor to attach the anti-slip sheets.
• Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign
objects and moisture. If moisture remains,
the anti-slip sheets may slip.
2
Adjust the level after placing the appliance in
the installation area.
3
Place the adhesive side a of the anti-slip
sheets on the floor.
• The most effective way is to install the antislip sheets under the front feet. If it is
difficult to place the sheets under the front
feet of the appliance, attach them under the
rear feet.
4
Check if all lock nuts at the bottom of the
appliance are secured properly.
• Proper placement and levelling of the appliance
will ensure long, regular, and reliable operation.
• The appliance must be 100% horizontal and
stand firmly in position on a hard flat floor.
• It must not ‘Seesaw’ across corners under the
load.
• Do not let the feet of the appliance get wet.
Failure to do so may cause vibration or noise.

• Do not attach the adhesive side
slip sheets to the feet of the appliance.
