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 centre.
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of
18 mm.
Important
Before connecting up 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.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the
end of the drain hose is neither too high nor too
low. The top of the curve in the hoseOs end should
be no more than 90 cm (35.4�), and no less than
60cm (23.6�) above floor level.
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.
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 mountedP0850
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 with a deep-pile carpet 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
Warning
The machine should NOT be placed
on deep pile carpeting.
