INSTALLATION

Remove the clothes washer from the carton. Please dispose of packaging and plastic

bags responsibly.

Open the washer door and remove the accessories from inside the washer (as listed

on page 4).

Select the location

Remove transit bolts

Before installing & using this washing

machine, the transit bolts must be removed

from the backside.

The clothes washer should be located on a ﬁrm and ﬂat surface. An uneven surface may

cause excess operating noise or vibration and effect the performance of the washer.

-The noise may be increased if the ﬂoor is not ﬁrm.

-It is not recommended to place on carpeted ﬂooring. If this can not be avoided, place a

solid sheet under the appliance.

-Choose a location which is indoors, dry & away from high temperature and high

humidity.

-Ensure room temperature is not below 0°C.

-Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc.

-Check that the machine does not touch the wall or cupboard.

CAUTION

All transit bolts & packaging must be removed before using the appliance.

Loosen all 4 bolts with a spanner to

remove them.

Plug the holes with transit hole caps

provided.

Keep the transit bolts for future use to

protect the drum during transportation.

INSTALLATION

Install the water inlet hose

CAUTION

Be sure to install the inlet hose to COLD water only. Incorrect installation can

reduce performance or damage the clothes washer.

Level the washer

For optimal washing performance, reduced noise

and to minimise vibration, it is important to ensure

the washer is completely ﬂat and level before use.

Use a sprit level to check both horizontal and

vertical stability.

To adjust the feet:

Loosen the lock nut(A).

Adjust each foot(B). Turn left to raise or right to

lower as necessary. Once levelled, try to rock it

from corner to corner. If the washer rocks,

continue to adjust the feet until it is levelled and

no longer rocks.

Once all four feet have been adjusted and the

washer is completely level, tighten the lock

nut(A).

Fasten one end of the inlet hose to the tap.

Ensure there is a rubber washer inside the

hose before fastening. The washer prevents

water leakage.

Securely tighten the other end of the inlet hose

to the clothes washer inlet valve. Ensure the

rubber washer is inside the hose before

tightening.

When tightening the clamping nut, apply even

pressure. Do not apply too much force or twist

the valve as this may damage or break the

valve joint.

into the mains power supply and it is switched to

the ON position.

before touching the mains outlet, any

electrical plugs or cables.

diameter of at least 30mm to meet minimum

drainage ﬂow requirements.
