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).
1.
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.
