Asko W4114CW Installation Instructions English - Page 3

INSTALLATION Read these instructions carefully and completely before you install the machine. The installation should be carried out by a qualified person who is familiar with all local codes and ordinances for electrical and plumbing connections. Cosmetic damage must be reported to your dealer within five days from the date of purchase. After unpacking the washer, thoroughly check the unit for cosmetic damage. ADJUSTING THE FEET Place the washing machine so that it is stable. It is important that the machine is level to prevent excessive vibrations during spin cycles. Each foot of the washer is adjustable, so you can level the washer on any surface. Once it is level, securely tighten the lock nuts on the feet to prevent excessive vibration during spin cycles. 1. Level the washing machine horizontally and vertically by rotating the adjustable feet (using a No. 32 (1.26") spanner). The feet allow levelling by +/- 1 (0.39") cm. 2. When the appropriate height of feet is set, use the wrench No. 17 (0.67") to firmly fasten the counternuts towards the bottom of the appliance . 3. Tighten the jam nuts (counter nuts) to the end position. This will reduce washing machine noise to minimum. CONNECTING TO WATER SUPPLY The machine has to be connected to water supply by an adequately trained person. Since ASKO washers have a built-in heating element, you only need a cold water inlet. The connection should be made by someone who is sufficiently skilled. Use the hose supplied with the washer. (The inlet hose is marked for correct connection.) The water pressure must be in the range 15-146 PSI. A valve should be fitted on the water supply pipe. If a new supply pipe has been installed for the washer, it should be flushed thoroughly to remove any foreign particles that might clog the filter in the fill valve. 1 The water intake hose has to be fastened firmly enough for the hose to have a good seal. After connecting the hose, the seal must be checked 2 for any leaks. Only use the water supply hose supplied with the appliance. Do not use any used or other hoses. 3 If the unit is installed on a second story, follow local building codes. We recommend installing a drip pan. Hot water connection (depending on model) A few seconds after you start a program, the washing machine will begin to fill with water from the hot and cold supplies. If for some reason no hot water is available, the machine waits for one minute and then fills with cold water only. The wash drum does not start to rotate until it begins to fill with water. However, if you choose to connect your ECOmachine to cold water only, it is important that you shut off the hot water connection. Customer Care Center, 1-800-898-1879, www.askona.com 3
