Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure
with a clip, ensure a loop is formed in the drain
hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the
sink entering the washing machine.
Important!
Before connecting 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 raising or
lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to
adjust as they incorporate a self locking nut,
but the machine MUST be level and stable.
If necessary, check the
setting with a spirit
level.
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a
spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration,
noise and displacement of the machine during
operation.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to compensate for
any unevenness in the floor.
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.
Loop
Special conditions
If the floor is carpeted 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.
In the interest of the environment
Washing machines should be connected to the
FOUL drainage system, the water will then be
taken to a sewage works for treatment before
being discharged safely into a river. It is
essential that these appliances are not
connected to the surface water drainage
system as this water is discharged directly into
a river or stream and may cause pollution.
If you require any further advice please contact
your local water authority.
