2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.

If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove

any blanking plug that may be in place.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a

clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain

hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink

entering the washing machine.

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4

metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is

available from your local Service Force Centre.

The joining piece must have an internal diameter of

18mm.

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.

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.

Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and

displacement of the machine during operation.

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.

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 and dishwashers 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.
