If volatile cleaning fluids have been used, make sure that they are thoroughly removed from the fabric before it is placed in the appliance.
INSTALLATION Unpacking Positioning All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the machine. You are advised to keep all packing for re-use in case you move house and the machine has to be transported again. Proceed as follows: Using a spanner remove the screw on the right at the rear of the machine. Carefully lay the machine on its back making sure that the hoses are not squashed. Place between machine and bottom one of the P0255 polystyrene angle packings.
Water drainage If you intend the drain hose from the machine to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and that the plug hole is not blocked. If the machine is permanently plumbed in, hook the end of the hose into a standpipe installed for the purpose. The standpipe must have an internal diameter of at least 40 mm (1 1/2") in order that there is an air gap between the drain hose and the standpipe.
