INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

To avoid risk of injury, please take care when moving your Washing Machine. It is heavy and we
recommend that a minimum of two people move your Washing Machine.
To unpack your Washing Machine and manoeuvre it to the installation area, one person should
hold it by the front feet and the other person at the edge of the lid at the rear.
Your Washing Machine measures 84.5 x 59.7 x 52.7cm and will require an installation area with
the space to allow the door to fully open and provide easy access to the plumbing and electrical
connections.
The most suitable installation surface for your Washing Machine is a concrete floor as it is less
prone to vibration during the spin cycle. Soft floor surfaces such as carpets and rugs are not
suitable.
If you have to install your Washing Machine on a wooden floor we recommend that a water
resistant wooden base at least 30mm thick is installed. The base should span several joists and
be bolted down. Check for the presence of pipes and cables before installing.
If possible install your Washing Machine in the corner of the room as it is often the most stable
part of the floor.
Do not install your Washing Machine in rooms where temperatures below freezing may occur as
frozen hoses may burst or split.

REMOVAL OF TRANSIT BOLTS

The transit bolts are used to protect your Washing Machine from damage during transportation
and must be removed before using your Washing Machine for the first time. Keep the transit
bolts safe and re-fit them if you need to transport your Washing Machine in the future.
The four transit bolts are located on the back of your Washing Machine (fig 5a).
To remove the transit bolts (4 of f):

1

Remove each bolt by turning anti-clockwise with a suitable spanner (fig 5b).

2

Pull out the remaining plastic section of each transit bolt by hand. This will require a

reasonable amount of force.

3

Inser t the blanking caps (4 off): Push the cap into the hole until the four connectors click into

place. Check that the cap is flush with the machine.

To re-fit the transit bolts (4 off) for future transportation:

1

Pull and remove the four plastic blanking caps.

2

Inser t the plastic sections of the transit bolts into the exposed holes.

3

Inser t the bolts into the plastic sections of the transit bolts and tighten with a suitable

spanner until secure.

INSTALLATION

ADJUSTING THE FEET

For safe operation, it is important that your Washing Machine is level and securely positioned on
all four feet. Incorrect installation may cause the Washing Machine to vibrate, and increase your
water and electricity consumption.
The four adjustable feet are used to level the Washing Machine. To adjust the feet:

1

Loosen the plastic locking nut by turning anti-clockwise (fig 6a).

2

To increase the height of the machine, turn the feet clockwise (fig 6b).

3

To decrease the height of the machine, turn the feet anti-clockwise (fig 6b).

4

Af ter making adjustments, use a spirit level to check that the machine is level.

5

Once the machine is level, tighten the locking nuts by turning clockwise (fig 6c).

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

Your Washing Machine uses an energy ef ficient cold fill system, which means that only the
water required to wash the laundry is heated. As a result no heat is lost in the pipeline from the
hot water supply.
Connect your Washing Machine to your cold water supply only. If your previous machine had a
hot and cold fill, check that the hot tap on your water supply is closed to avoid leakage. Only use
the fill hose supplied and not one from your old Washing Machine. Only one hose is required
to install your Washing Machine to the cold water supply. The inlet hose provided with your
Washing Machine connects the rear of your machine and the cold water supply.
To connect your Washing Machine to the cold water supply:

1

Connect the angled end of the fill hose to the cold water inlet on the rear of your Washing

Machine by screwing the threaded connector clockwise (fig 7). Take care not to overtighten
the connection. Hand tight is sufficient.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

2

Screw the straight end of the hose clockwise to a 19mm (3/4’’) cold water tap until hand

tight (fig 8). Take care not to trap or kink the hose.

DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION

Do not connect your Washing Machine to a surface water drain.
Connect your Washing Machine to your household drainage system (fig 9).
For your Washing Machine to function properly the outlet end of the drain hose must be at a
minimum of 60cm and a maximum of 100cm from the ground.

CAUTION: Check to ensure that the hose is not trapped, kinked, twisted, folded or crushed.

Do not attempt to extend the drain hose by adding extra sections.
