Removing the transport bolts

CAUTION

DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE OR INJURY POSSIBLE

• The washer is secured for transport with transport bolts. Transport bolts that are not removed can damage the drum during operation of the washer, the washer will vibrate, and it will be much noisier during spin cycles if the transport bolts are not removed before use. Be sure to remove all 4 transport bolts completely before first use. Keep the transport bolts. If a pedestal was purchased with the washer, it must be installed first, prior to removing the transport  bolts. Please consult the pedestal installation  instructions.
• In order to prevent transport damage during later  transport, be sure to re-install the bolts before  transport.

1. Undo the four transport bolts A by the wrench (supplied) and remove them.
2. Remove the four spacers B. They will fall to the floor when you tip the machine.
3. Insert the four cover caps C which will find in the plastic bag containing the accessories.

Keep all the parts in safe place: you will need them again if the washer needs to be moved to another location.

NOTE
• Transport the washer for the prevention of breakage as below:
– The transport bolts are reinstalled.
– The power cord is secured to the back of the washer.

Choosing the right location

Locations the appliance is not to be installed

• In a damp place or where the washer may be exposed to rain, etc.(As this could cause electric shock or fire)
• Locations that are uneven, or unstable (As this could cause vibration and noise).
• In direct sunlight (As this could cause malfunction or deformation)
• Within, or on top of, unstable surfaces, including but not limited to benchtops, timber shelving, or cabinets.

  CAUTION: Do not install where temperatures may reach freezing

Set-in Installation
Install the washer with easy access to the power plug and socket.
Install the washer where there is enough space around it.

Leveling the washer

Importance of leveling the washer
The washer uses high spin speeds to remove water at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that the washer is level and that the washer feet press with equal pressure against the floor. This will help assure the quietest, most vibration-free use of the washer.

Follow these steps:

1. Install the washer on a level and solid surfaces. Preferably in a corner of a room.
2. If the floor is uneven (or out of level ) adjust the washer feet as required to level the washer. Do not place anything under the washer feet to help level the washer.
3. Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The more the feet are extended, the more vibration the washer will experience. Start with the washer feet turned all the way in and adjust each foot as necessary.
4. Use a bubble level (no supplied) to check the top of the washer to make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.
5. Press down on each corner of the washer top to make sure the washer doesn’t “wobble”. There should be no “give” or movement. All the washer feet should press equally against the floor. This is just as important as the washer being level to prevent vibration.
6. When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock the washer feet in place by tightening the lock nuts against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while tightening the locknut)

Procedure for adjusting the appliance feet:

1. After determining which the washer feet need to be extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.
2. Turn the washer foot to extend it downward as far as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the correct amount to level the washer.
3. When the height of the foot is correct, use the wrench (supplied) to tighten the locknut against the washer bottom. The locknut should be tighten against the bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.

Connection the electricity and water supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Connect one end of the water inlet hose to a cold water tap and tighten by hand (see figure).
Before performing the connection, allow the water to run freely until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the water inlet valve on the rear of the appliance and tighten by hand.

3. Turn on the tap slowly and make sure there are no leaks.

Do not twist, squash, modify or cut the hose.
Tighten the end of the hose firmly by hand.
The supply water pressure must be in the 0.03—1.0MPa range. If the water pressure exceeds this value, please fit a pressure reducing valve.
If the hose is not long enough, contact a specialized shop or an authorized technician.
Never use second-hand water inlet hose.
Use the new water inlet hose supplied with the washer.

Connecting the drain hose
Height of drain point
Height difference between the floor and drainage  point: min. 60cm(24 in.) and max. IOOcm(39 in.).

Types of drainage hookups
• Standpipe

Attach the drain hose to the elbow (no supplied, available from our Customer Service Department). Position the elbow on the drain hose 4″ from end of the hose as shown. Insert this section of the drain hose into the drain pipe. Secure the elbow and hose with a nylon tie strap or the equivalent to keep the hose from coming out of the drain pipe during use.

• Sink siphon

Secure the drain hose to the sink siphon using a  Ø0.9-1.6 in.(20-44mm) hose clip (available from  a hardware store).
