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 pur-
pose. 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. Make
sure, that it is designed in such a way, that the end of
the drain hose cannot be covered with water.
Important
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework
or to pipework that has not been used for some time,
run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have collected in the pipes.
Whether discharging into a sink or a standpipe check
that the end of the drain hose is neither too high nor
too low. The top of the curve in the hose’s end should
be no more than 90 cm (35.4”), and no less than
60 cm (23.6”) above floor level.
Levelling
Level the washing ma-
chine by raising or low-
ering the feet. The feet
may be tight to adjust as
they incorporate a self
locking nut, but the
machine MUST be level.
Any necessary adjust-
ment can be made with a
spanner. Accurate level-
ling prevents vibration, noise and displacement of the
machine during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on
a wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,
always place the machine on a solid floor.
Special conditions
If the floor is carpeted with a deep-pile carpet or
covered with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid
support base under the feet to prevent noise, vibra-
tion or displacement. The base should protrude a few
centimetres beyond the edges of the machine.
Warning
The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile car-
peting.

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a

Electrical connection
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket,
make sure that:
1. the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given
in the technical specifications;
2. the meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall
socket can all take the maximum load required.
The electric cable must not be extended. If it is too
short and you do not wish to move the socket, replace
it completely with a longer cable.
Safety standards require the appliance to be
earthed.
