INSTALLATION

TRANSIT SCREWS

The appliance is fitted with two transit screws and a transit bar to prevent internal damage while it is being moved.

Before using the appliance the transit screws and transit bar MUST be removed.

The appliance is fitted with two screws and a transit bar.

1. Remove the black screw (A) with a screwdriver.

2. Unscrew the screw (B) on the red transit bar with a screwdriver.

3. Completely withdraw and remove the transit bar (C) by pulling firmly on the red handle.

Keep the screws and the bar for future use. Note: Refit the transit screws and transit bar before transporting the appliance by repeating the above

steps in reverse order. In order to locate the screws and bar correctly, it will be necessary to remove the appliance top, having first made sure that the appliance is disconnected from water and electricity supplies.

INSTALLATION

• Install the appliance on a solid and level floor

surface, preferably in a corner of the room.

• Make sure that all four feet are resting firmly on the floor and check that the appliance is perfectly level (use a spirit level).

• If the floor is uneven, adjust the levelling feet as required (do not insert pieces of wood, cardboard etc. under the feet).

1. Slacken the locknut.

2. Adjust the height of the foot, turning it by

hand.

3. Tighten the locknut anticlockwise towards the washing machine.

If the appliance is to be installed on a wooden floor, distribute the weight by placing it on a 60x60 cm sheet of plywood at least 3 cm in thickness. Secure the plywood sheet to the floor.

WATER SUPPLY

• Water supply: only cold water.

• Tap: 3/4” threaded hose connector.

• Water pressure (mains pressure):

10-100N/cm2 (1-10bar).

INLET HOSE

• Carefully screw the inlet hose to the tap by

hand.

• Turn the tap on fully and check that the joints at the washing machine and the tap are watertight.

110

• If the hose is not long enough, replace it with a suitable length of pressure-resistant hose (approved under EN50065 to withstand a minimum of 10bar).

• Check the hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace if necessary.

• The washing machine may be connected without a non-return valve.

• Observe any special local regulations regarding connection to the water supply.
