DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE

▯

The machine is secured for transport with 

transport bolts. 
Transport bolts that are not removed can damage 

the drum during operation of the machine, the 

washer will vibrate, and it will be much noisier 

during spin cycles if the transport bolts are not 

removed before use.
Be sure to remove all 4 transport bolts 

completely before first use. Keep the transport 

bolts.
If a pedestal was purchased with the washer, it 

must be installed first, prior to removing the 

transport bolts. Please consult the pedestal 

installation instructions.

▯

In order to prevent transport damage during later 

transport, be sure to re-install the bolts before 

transport. 

Remove hoses from the brackets.

Loosen and remove all 4 transport bolts. 

Remove the sleeves. Take the power cable out of the 

brackets.

Place covers over the transport bolt holes 

Four plastic covers are provided in the small parts bag 

included with your washer. Separate these covers and 

install one in each hole where the transport bolts were 

removed.  

Lock covers firmly by pressing on the snap hook. 

Insert hose holder. Secure hoses in the hose holders.

NOTICE:  Keep the assemblies together and store them 

for later use such as when moving the washer. 

▯

The washing machine must only be operated with cold 

and hot (max. 140 °F/60 °C) tap water. Do not 

connect the appliance to the mixer tap of a 

pressurized hot-water boiler.

▯

To prevent water damage, the hot and cold water 

valves should be accessible when the washing 

machine is in place and should always be turned off 

when the washing machine is not in use.

▯

If installing the washing machine in a new building or a 

building in which the plumbing system was recently 

installed or upgraded, flush the lines before installing 

the washing machine to remove any sand, dirt or 

residue.

▯

To prevent leakage or water damage, follow the 

instruction in this chapter.

▯

If in doubt, have the appliance connected by a 

technican.

Connect your washer to the wall faucets using the 

included AquaSecure water supply hose.
Observe each of the following:

▯

Only use the new water supply hose shipped with your 

washer. Never connect old used hoses.

▯

The water supply hoses must not be kinked, bent or 

flattened in such a way as to potentially diminish water 

flow.

▯

The water supply pressure must be between 14,5 to 

145 psi (1 - 10 bar) with a minimum of 2.2 U.S. gallons 

(8 liters) of flow per minute. A pressure regulator valve 

must be installed if the maximum water pressure is 

exceeded.
