CORRECT USE

• To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the washing machine, do not install it in place where it is damp and where it suffers from rainfall.

• Do not install the washing machine in place where it suffers from the sun directly, in which plastic or components will be damaged. It will be shortened the life of your washing machine.

• Do not install the washing machine in place where temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing point.

• Do not shoot the washing machine with water when you clean it.

• Keep the washing machine away from fire or heat sources.

• Before using the washing machine for the first time, make sure that the transit bolts at the rear of the machine have been removed. During spinning, transit bolts which is still in place may result in damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

• Turn off the tap if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.

• Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the machine with the laundry. These may damage components of the
  machine (e.g. drum), which in turn can result in damage to the laundry.

• Do not wash water-repellent things(e.g. raincoats) with washing machine.

• Only remove laundry from the washing machine once the drum has stopped turning. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous and could result in injury.

SAFETY WITH CHILDREN

• Keep children away from the washing machine at all times. To avoid the risk of injury do not allow children to play on or near it or to play with its controls. Supervise children whilst you are using it.
• Older children may only use the washing machine if its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
• For machines with a ‘porthole’ door, remember that the porthole glass will be hot when washing at very high temperatures. Do not let children touch it.

  Note. Strong vibration, noise or failures may occur if the transit bolts are not removed.

• Keep the transit bolts for future transportation.
  Whenever the machine is transported, the transit bolts must be refitted.

INSTALLATION PLACE REQUIREMENT

• Aconcrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for a washing machine, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or carpeted surface.
• The machine must be level and securely positioned. The distance between the machine and wall must be more than 10cm.
• To avoid vibrations during spinning. the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings.

LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may cause vibrations and noise and may cause the machine to move about.

To do these when the machine is not level:

• Using the spanner turn locknut in a clockwise direction. Then turn locknuts together with adjust feet to unscrew.
• Hold adjust feet securely with a pipe wrench. Turn locknut again using the spanner until it sits firmly up against the housing.

Note. Vibration and noise may occur if the locknuts do not sit firmly up against the houses.

DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION

1. Direct into a sink
   If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place.
   Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink entering the washing machine.
   If required,the drain hose can be extended to a length of 4 m.

2. Connected securely to a standpipe
   Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the “U” piece supplied.
   Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately 30mm thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.
   When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top fo the standpipe is no more than 90cm and no less than 60cm above floor level.

WATER INLET CONNECTION
Connect the inlet hose supplied with the machine to a tap with a 3/4» thread. Do not use previously employed hoses.
Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements.

When there is a inlet valve at the back of the machine, it must be connected to a cold water supply. If there are two inlet valve, one is connected to a cold water supply and the other is connected to a hot water supply. Follow the indication of the picture below to complete the connection.
