If the machine is permanently plumbed in, hook the end
of the hose into a standpipe installed for the purpose.
The standpipe must have an internal diameter of at least
40mm in order that there is an air gap between the drain
hose and the standpipe. Make sure, that it is designed in
such a way, that the end of the drain hose cannot be
covered with water.

Whether discharging into a sink or a standpipe check
that the end of the drain hose is neither too high nor too
low. The top of the curve in the hose’s end should be no
more than 90 cm, and no less than 60 cm above floor
level.

Should a prolongation of the drain hose be unavoidable
this must never surpass 1.5 m and must be of the same
diameter as the original hose

Important

Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or
to pipework that has not been used for some time, run
off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris
that may have collected in the pipes.

Levelling

Level the washing machine by loosening or tightening
the feet. Once in the right position fix the feet by
pushing the nuts against the base of the case

Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation. After
levelling the machine, secure the feet by tightening the
ring nuts with the aid of a screwdriver.

Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a
wooden floor.

Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,
always place the machine on a solid floor.

Special conditions

If the floor is carpeted with a deep-pile carpet or
covered with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid
support base under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or
displacement. The base should protrude a few
centimetres beyond the edges of the machine.

Warning

The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile

carpeting.

Note

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
