Installation
Positioning the washing machine
The washing machine can be installed as
a built-in or freestanding unit. Position the
machine so that the electrical plug is easily
accessible.
A. Built-in
The washing machine can be installed
under a counter top with a working height
of 850-900 mm. Leave a space of approxi-
mately 5 mm around the machine.
B. Freestanding
The washing machine can be positioned
beside or under a dryer.
Adjusting the feet
Adjust the feet so that the machine is
steady and balanced on the floor. Tighten
the locking nuts.
Connection to water supply
Water connection should be carried out by
a qualified person.
Connect the machine using the accom-
panying supply hose. Water pressure
should be 0.1–1MPa (approx. 1–10kp/cm 2 ;
10–100N/cm 2 ).
There should be a stopcock on the water
pipe.
If the pipes are newly installed, it may be
wise to flush them through so that any dirt is
washed away. Otherwise, dirt can clog the
filter in the machine’s water intake and cut
off the water supply.
Drainage connection
The machine is supplied with a connected
drainage hose that can be fastened to a
laundry sink or similar. The height must be
600 - 900 mm above floor level.
A lower position (600 mm) is always prefer-
able. Ensure that the drainage hose has no
kinks.
