Notes for the installer Front transit fitting The washer-extractor must be installed by an approved service technician or an authorised Service Dealer. Installation A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface. Please note: ^ The machine must be level and securely positioned. ^ Do not install the machine on a ‘soft’ base such as floorboards as this could result in more vibration during the spin cycles.
Notes for the installer Levelling The machine must stand level to ensure smooth operation. The adjustable feet can compensate for an uneven base. To ensure the machine is correctly connected please observe the installation plan and the installation instructions supplied with the machine. See the installation diagram supplied for instructions on connection to the water supply and for drainage. The inlet pressure hoses supplied with the machine must be used for connection to the water supply.
Notes for the installer Drainage - Machines with a Drain Pump The machine drains via a drain pump with a delivery head of 1 metre. The 1.5 m long drain hose must not be kinked as this restricts drainage. The swivel elbow at the end of the hose can be turned or detached. Drainage possibilities: ^ Direct into a sink: (for the drain pump version). Hook the hose over the edge and secure. Make sure the water can flow away freely to avoid flooding and to prevent water from being sucked back into the machine.
