Making the appliance level 3 Automatic adjusting foot: The rear foot on the left-hand side of your washing machine is built as a shock absorbing foot. This guarantees that the appliance does not move even at high spin speeds. The four feet of the appliance are pre-adjusted. Large degrees of unevenness can be compensated for by adjusting the four feet of the appliance. Use the special spanner supplied to do this.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed as described below. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: 1 Green and Yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live • The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter “E“ or by the earth symbol E or coloured green and yellow. • The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal “N“ or coloured black.
Connecting the appliance to the water supply Important: • This appliance must not be connected to the hot water supply. • When connecting the appliance, use only new hose kits. • Only connect the appliance to the drinking water supply. Rain water or water for industrial use may only be used if it fulfils the requirements of DIN1986 and DIN1988. • Do not kink or crush the water inlet hose or drain hose. Permitted water pressure The water pressure must be at least 1 bar (=10N/cm2 =0.
Water inlet 3 A 1.35m long pressure hose is supplied with the appliance. If a longer inlet hose is required, only hoses from the manufacturer are to be used. Service Force stocks hose kits of different lengths. Sealing rings are either inserted in the plastic nuts of the threaded hose fitting or are included as spare parts. Do not use any other sealing rings. Important! All threaded hose fittings must only be tightened by hand. 1. Connect the hose with the right-angle connector to the machine.
Water Drainage The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. The standpipe should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe. Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks. When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the curve in the hose end is no more than 90 cm (35.4’’) and no less than 60 cm (23.
