GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR MACHINE
INSTALLING YOUR MACHINE
1 Select the right spot
Unpack and place the new washing machine in proximity to both water and electrical connections. Ensure that the floor is properly levelled.
2 Installation of rat mesh
After unpacking, remove the rat mesh from the top cushion. Tilt the washing machine 45 degrees forwards. Insert the rat mesh between the slots provided at the rear of the washing machine. Push in the rat mesh and press it upwards until you hear a 'click'.
[Illustration: Diagram showing slots at the rear of the washing machine and the rat mesh being inserted.]
3 Connection to the water supply
Fix the water inlet hose to the tap. Pull the skirt-like nut on one end of the water inlet hose upwards and screw it into the tap tightly. Hold the water inlet hose and pull it downwards to check whether it is fixed securely.
This machine must only be connected to the onsite water supply using a new hose kit. Old hoses must not be reused. After installation of the water inlet hose, do not immediately start the washing machine. First open the tap to create water pressure in the hose to check for leakage from the connectors at both ends. If the pressure is too high, close the tap slightly to avoid water leakage.
The machine is designed to operate with water flow pressure between 0.3 Bar and 8 Bar. Lower or higher water pressure can lead to malfunction of your machine.

4 Connection to the drain hose
Never forget to install the drain hose before operating your machine. If the packing is removed, you will find a drain hose.
Connect the drain hose to the drain outlet at the rear of the washing machine.
Note: The opening must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor. Drain faults will result if the drain hose is blocked.
A protection film is provided for the safety of the cabinet during transit. It may be removed at the time of installation.
