Remove the Shipping Bolts
IMPORTANT: Read these instructions to remove the 2
shipping bolts (see Description
for location). Situated on one
either side of the rear panel,
BOTH shipping bolts MUST be
removed before use.
!
Failure to do so may cause
damage to your machine.
It is important the transit bolt and
spacer (see pic) come out intact.
1. Use a crosshead screwdriver
to remove the yellow plastic
covers.
2. Unscrew the bolt using a 13
mm wrench.
3. STOP when 3 threads can be
seen.
4 . Hold, slide sideways and pull to
remove.
5. For safety, replace both yellow plastic covers over the
holes left by removing the two bolts.
Location
Where you install your machine will affect its performance:
!
For your safety and to comply with electrical
regulations, seek professional advice if you want to install
your machine in a bath or shower room.
• Make sure that the electrical socket and water taps are
easily accessible. You should switch off the machine's
electrical and water supplies when you are not using
it for extended periods.
• Make sure that you allow enough space for the
machine. Select a space at least 23.6” (60 cm) wide,
23.6” (60 cm) deep and 33.4” (85 cm) high. Also
leave enough space to open the door fully, so that you
can load and unload it easily.
• Where possible, the machine should be positioned on
a solid floor to minimise vibration.
Take care when you move the machine not to rip any
floor coverings. The weight of the machine may cause
indentations in some floor coverings.
Levelling
Your machine will be noisy if the two front feet are not
adjusted so that the machine stands firm and level.
!
The machine should be levelled from side to side and
from front to back.
1. Move your machine into its final location.
- Take care not to trap or kink the hoses.
2. Turn one or both front feet counter-clockwise by hand
until the feet cannot be turned any more.
When adjusting the feet, use a spirit level to check the
machine stands level, from side to side and from front to
back.
The spring on each foot will stop
them coming loose.
!
If it is placed on a fitted or loose
carpet, adjust the feet in such a
way as to allow enough room for
ventilation beneath the machine.
Did you know?
• the shipping bolts are fitted to ensure that your machine is undamaged during delivery.
• ...both of the shipping bolts must be removed before using the machine, not doing so will lead to
excessive vibration, movement of the machine and could eventually lead to internal damage.
• ...the majority of problems with noisy machines are due to the shipping bolts not being removed,
closely followed by the feet not being adjusted correctly to level the machine.
• ...you will be charged for a service engineers visit if a problem with your machine is caused by
incorrect installation or misuse.
