Before proceeding with the installation, it is essential to read the safety information provided in the main User Manual. Ensure the appliance is placed on a stable, level surface and that you have all necessary tools before beginning.
Unpacking and Removing Transit Bolts
Before using the washing machine, you must remove the transit bolts used for shipping. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to the appliance and cause excessive vibration.
- Remove all packaging materials.
- Locate the transit bolts on the back of the machine.
- Unscrew and remove the bolts as shown in the diagram.
Leveling the Washing Machine
Proper leveling is crucial to prevent excessive vibration and noise during operation.
- Place a spirit level on top of the machine.
- Adjust the leveling feet by screwing or unscrewing them until the machine is perfectly level.
- Ensure all feet are in firm contact with the floor.
Water Inlet Connection
Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap.
- Ensure the water pressure is between 0.5 bar (0.05 MPa) and 10 bar (1.0 MPa).
- Tighten the connection securely to prevent leaks.
- Check that the rubber seal is correctly positioned inside the connector.
Drain Hose Installation
The drain hose must be positioned correctly to ensure proper drainage.
- The drain hose must be installed at a height between 600 mm and 1000 mm from the floor.
- Ensure the hose is not kinked, crushed, or restricted.
- The hose can be connected to a sink, a standpipe, or a wall drain, provided it meets the height requirements.
