Removing the Transportation Bolts

— Loosen all bolts with a spanner and then remove them.
— Use the plugs (supplied) to plug the holes.
— Keep the transport bolts for future use.

Level Adjusting

— If the floor is obviously uneven, your appliance feet need to be adjusted. If your

appliance isn’t level, it will cause your appliance to vibrate, and potentially move from its

position.
— Once you’ve positioned your washing machine, press down from the top in all four

corners to ensure that it’s completely stable (i.e. not rocking in any direction). Also use a

spirit level to ensure that it is completely level in all directions.
— Should you need to make adjustments, use a spanner to turn the appliance legs until

it makes contact with the floor. Turn the leg using one hand and then fasten the nut up

against the appliance cabinet, to lock the leg in place.
— After making any adjustments to the appliance legs,

re-check to ensure it is level and no rocking occurring.

Connect the Inlet Pipe

— Connect the hose elbow to the cold water outlet, screwing in a clockwise direction.
— Connect the other end of the inlet hose to the water inlet valve on the rear of the

washing machine.
— After installation, if there are any leaks detected, remove the hose and re-install using

the steps above. The hose is designed to be used on a standard washing machine

cock outlet.

Position the Outlet Hose

— The outlet hose (used to drain the discharged water) is to be ideally connected to the

relevant waste pipe, although it can also be positioned to drain into a sink/trough. Note

that the outlet hose has a minimum outlet position of 60cm and a maximum position of

100cm (as illustrated below).

Note:

If you are positioning the outlet hose to drain into a sink or trough, please ensure that it is
fixed in place and that the sink remains unblocked at all times.
