Safety Information
Always disconnect the washing machine from the power supply before attempting any installation or maintenance. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves if necessary. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified technician.
Setup and Installation
The kickplate moulding is typically installed at the bottom front of the washing machine, covering the base area and often concealing leveling feet or internal components.
Tools Required:
- Screwdriver (if applicable, check existing kickplate attachment)
- Gloves (optional, for protection)
Installation Steps:
Step 1: Disconnect Power. Ensure the washing machine is unplugged from the electrical outlet to prevent any electrical hazards.
Step 2: Remove Old Kickplate (if present). If replacing an existing kickplate, carefully locate any screws, clips, or tabs holding it in place. Use the appropriate screwdriver or gently pry it off. Note how the old one was attached for reference.
Step 3: Position New Kickplate. Align the new Candy kickplate moulding (Model 92149418) with the designated slots or mounting points at the bottom front of your washing machine. Ensure it sits flush against the appliance body.
Step 4: Secure the Kickplate. Depending on your washing machine model, the kickplate may snap into place using integrated clips, or it may require screws. Gently push the kickplate until it clicks into position, or use the appropriate screws to fasten it securely. Do not overtighten screws if used.
Step 5: Verify Installation. Once installed, gently tug on the kickplate to ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble. It should provide a stable and aesthetic finish to the washing machine's base.
Step 6: Reconnect Power. After successful installation, plug the washing machine back into the electrical outlet.
Operating Information
The kickplate moulding is a static component and does not require operational input. Its function is purely protective and aesthetic. Ensure it remains securely attached during washing machine operation to prevent vibration or detachment.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of the kickplate moulding is minimal but important for longevity and appearance.
Cleaning: Wipe the kickplate with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent as needed to remove dust, dirt, or spills. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
Inspection: Periodically check the kickplate for any signs of damage, cracks, or loose fittings. Ensure it remains securely attached to the washing machine.
Damage: If the kickplate becomes damaged, it is recommended to replace it to maintain the aesthetic and protective integrity of the washing machine.
