Removing the transit fixings
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT: Follow these instructions to remove the TWO
transit fixings (
see Description for location).
Situated on either side of the rear panel, BOTH transit
bolts MUST be removed before use.

damage to your machine.
It is important the transit bolt and
spacer come out intact (
see pic see pic see pic see pic see pic ).
1. Unscrew the bolt using a 13mm
spanner.
2. STOP when 3 threads can be
seen.
3. Hold, slide sideways and pull to
remove.
4. For safety, insert one of the
plastic covers (
supplied with your
machine ) over the hole.
! Repeat steps 1 to 4 to remove the
second transit bolt.
! Packaging materials are not
children’s toys.
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 anti-
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.
Water connection
Connecting the water inlet hose.
Remember that this is a cold-fill machine.
! Check that seal is in place inside
the hose end cap.
Before making the water connections to gas ¾ thread,
allow the water to run freely from the supply tap until it is
perfectly clear.
Screw the inlet end with the blue
cap onto the cold water supply tap.
Turn the tap on and check for leaks: tighten if necessary.
! Make sure that there are no kinks or bends in the hose.
! The water pressure at the tap must be within the values
indicated in the Technical details table (next page).
! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
! Always use new hoses.
! Check the water hose at least once a year, replace any
that are cracked as worn hoses could split under water
pressure.
