7. Fill the smaller upper hole and the two
large ones with the corresponding
plastic plug caps supplied in the bag
containing the instruction booklet.
Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the
machine is not impeded by carpets,
rugs etc. 
Check that the machine does not touch
the wall or other kitchen units. 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. If necessary, check the
setting with a spirit level. 


Accurate levelling prevents vibration,
noise and displacement of the machine
during operation. Never place
cardboard, wood or similar materials
under the machine to compensate for
any unevenness in the floor.
Water inlet
The appliance must be connected to a
cold water supply. 
Do not use the hose from your
previous machine to connect to the
water supply.
Do not place the inlet hose
downwards. Angle the hose to the
left or right depending on the
position of your water tap as
shown in the picture below.
Set the hose correctly by loosening the
ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose,
be sure to tighten the ring nut again to
prevent leaks.

Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4”
thread. The inlet hose must not be
lengthened. If it is too short and you do
not wish to move the tap, you will have
to purchase a new, longer hose
specially designed for this type of use.
Note !
Installation should comply with
local water authority and building
regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be connected to a
cold water supply. 
A minimum water pressure of 0.05
MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe
operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water
connection direct from the rising mains,
you may be able to operate the
appliance from your cold water storage
system.
There should be a minimum distance
of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the
water storage tank.

Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be
permanently plumbed into your homes
drainage system using one of the
following methods.
1.  Into a drainage 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
38mm 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 (35.4) and no
less than 60 cm (23.6) above floor
level.
The drain hose may be extended to a
maximum of 4 metres.

							installationelectrolux  43
An additional drain hose and joining
piece is available from your local
Service Force Centre. The joining piece
must have an internal diameter of 18
mm.
If your drain hose looks like this (see
below) you do not require the «U»
piece. Just push the hose firmly into
the standpipe.
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.
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.
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.
