3. Positioning

Install the machine on a firm, flat surface. Make sure that nothing – carpets, cloths etc., can prevent the air from circulating around the machine. Make sure that the machine is not touching a wall or any piece of furniture as this would cause vibrations.

Level the machine by screwing the adjustable feet up or down; never place a piece of wood or any other object underneath to set off any difference in height between one side and the other. Once the machine is level, tighten the counter nuts on the feet.

5. Emptying the water

The machine uses a pump to empty the water. The end of the flexible hose must be hung at a maximum height of 1 metre and minimum 0.5 metres so the water can run off properly. Make sure there are no kinks or snags in the runoff hose.

6. Electric connection

The machine is designed for use with 230V 50Hz. Connect the machine to an earthed socket that complies with approved safety standards. The makers refuse all responsibility in the event of damage caused by failure to respect the security provisions.
