To do these when the machine is not level:

• Using the spanner turn lock nut in a clockwise direction. Then turn lock nuts together with adjust feet to unscrew
• Use a spirit level to check the machine is standing level
• Hold adjust feet securely with a pipe wrench. Turn lock nut again using the spanner until it sits firmly up against the housing. 

Drain hose connection

1. Direct into a sink

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 to prevent waste from the sink entering the washing machine.
If required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 4m.

2. Connected securely to a standpipe.

Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the “U” piece” supplied.
Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the standpipe is no more than 90 cm and no less than 60 cm above floor level.

Water inlet connection

Connect the inlet hose supplied with the machine to a tap with a 3/4” thread.
Do not use previously employed hoses.
Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations' requirements.
