Before you do your first wash
You owe it to yourself and your washer to have your washer installed correctly.
Before you start, it is a good idea to go through the following checklist:
- Has the base packer been removed? (refer to ‘Installation Instructions’ section).
- Is the drain hose threaded through the ‘U bend’ (with no more than 20mm extended) and hooked into your tub or standpipe? (refer to ‘Installation Instructions’ section).
- Is the hot hose connected to the Hot valve marked ‘H’? Is the cold hose connected to the Cold valve marked ‘C’? (refer to ‘Installation Instructions’ section).
- Is the washer correctly levelled, feet are extended and cabinet corners are clear of the floor? (refer to ‘Installation Instructions’ section).
If you bought a QuickSmart™ model, it is a good idea to check the warm fill temperature (refer to ‘Changing pre-set options — Wash temperatures’).
