INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FITTER

**Mounting the wooden panel onto the door and inserting the machine

into cabinets**

In the case where the machine must be shipped for final installation after the wooden panel has been mounted, we suggest leaving it in its ori- ginal packaging. The packaging was designed to make it possible to mount the wooden panel onto the machine without removing it comple- tely (see figures below).
The wooden panel that covers the face of the ma- chine must not be less than 13 mm in thickness and can be hinged on either the right or left. For the sake of practicality when using the machine, we recommend that the panel be hinged on the same side as the door for the machine itself – the left.

Door Mounting Accessories

(Fig. 1-2-3-4-5).

No. 6 type A self-threading screws, l =13 mm.
No. 2 type B metric, countersunk screws, l =20; for fastening the magnet plate to the cabinet.
No. 4 type C metric screws, l =20 mm; for mounting the hinge supports to the cabinet.
No. 4 type D metric screws, l =7 mm; for mounting the hinges on the supports.

Mounting the Parts onto the Face of the Machine

Separate hinge supports from the hinges by removing the screws type D.
Fit the hinge supports to the appliance front panel, positioning the hole marked with an arrow in fig. 1 so that it is on the inner side of the front panel. Fit a spacer (fig. 4/B) between the surfaces using type C screws.
Fit the magnet plate at the top of the opposite side, using type B screws to fix two spacers (fig. 4/B and fig. 4) between the plate and the surface.

Using the Drilling Template

To trace the positions of the holes on the lefthand side of the panel, align the drilling template to the top left side of the panel using the lines traced on the extremities as a reference.
To trace the positions of the holes on the righthand side of the panel, align the drilling template to the top right side of the panel.
Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes for the two hinges, the rubber plug and the magnet.

Mounding the Parts onto the Wooden Panel (Door)

Insert the hinges into the holes (the movable part of the hinge must be positioned facing away fromthe panel) and fasten them with the 4 type A screws.
Insert the magnet into the top hole on the oppo- site side of the hinges and fasten it with the two type A screws.
Insert the rubber plug into the bottom hole.
The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the machine.

Mounting the Panel into the machine

Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow in fig. 2) into the hole for the hinge and push the panel towards the front of the machine. Fasten the two hinges with the type D screws.

Fastening the plinth guide

If the machine is installed at the end of a set of modular cabinets, mount either one or both of the guides for the base molding (as shown in fig. 8). Adjust them for depth based on the position of the base molding, and, if necessary, fasten the base to the guides (fig. 9). This is how to assemble the plinth guide (fig. 8):
Fasten angle P using screw R , insert plinth guide Q into the special slot and once it is in the desired position, lock it in place using angle P and screw R.

Inserting the machine into the Cabinet

– Push the machine into the opening, aligning it with the cabinets (fig. 6). – Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the machine to the appropriate height.
– To adjust the position of the wooden panel in both the vertical and horizontal directions, use the C and D screws, as shown in fig. 7.

Important: close the lower part of the appliance front and sides in case machine is installed at the end of set of modular cabinets, by ensuring that the plinth rests against the floor.

Accessories provided for the height adjustment

The following can be found inside the polystyrene lid (fig. 10): 2 crossbars (G), 1 strip (M) the following can be found inside the appliance drum:
4 additional feet (H),
4 screws (I),
4 screws (R),
4 nuts (L),
2 plinth guides (Q)

Adjusting the appliance height

The height of the appliance can be adjusted (from 815 mm to 835 mm), by turning the 4 feet. Should you require the appliance to be placed higher than the above height, you need to use the following accessories to raise it to up to 870 mm: the two crossbars ( G ); the 4 feet (H); the 4 screws ( I ); the 4 nuts ( L ) then perform the following ope- rations (fig. 11): Lay down machine to back side, make sure, to do not damage drain hose and power supply cable. remove the 4 original feet, place a crossbar G at the front of the appliance, fastening it in place using screws I (screwing them in where the original feet were) then insert the new feet H. Repeat the same operation at the back of the ap- pliance.
Now adjust feet H to raise or lower the appliance from 835 mm to 870 mm.
Once you have reached the desired height, lock nuts L onto crossbar G. To adjust the appliance to a height between 870 mm and 900 mm, you need to mount strip M , adjusting feet H to the required height. Insert the strip as follows: loosen the three screws N situated at the front of the Top cover of the appliance, insert strip M as shown in fig. 12, then fasten screws N.
