Moving and Installing
Removing the Transit Bolts
Four transit bolts keep the interior of the washing machine in place while it’s being moved.
They need to be removed before installation. Use a spanner (not supplied) and follow the
instructions detailed below.
Removing the Polystyrene Foam
Polystyrene foam is attached on the underside of the appliance for protection and support
during transportation. It needs to be removed before installation. Check and ensure the
underside is clear of polystyrene foam by tilting the appliance and have someone check the
underside of any un-removed foam.
Moving the Washing Machine from One Location to Another
Before you move the washing machine:
• Shut off the tap and run the washing machine to drain the water. Drain any remaining
water from the pump hose.
• Disconnect the mains cable.
• Attach the transit bolts.
To remove the transit bolts:
1. Use a spanner to loosen the four bolts. They are located at the rear of the washing
machine.
2. Pull the bolts out horizontally. Make sure the entire bolt is removed.
3. Push the four cover caps (included with your accessories) into the respective bolt holes.
Don’t run the washing machine without removing the transit bolts, as this can
cause excessive vibrations and may damage your machine.
You’ll need the transit bolts again if you move the washing machine, so make sure
you keep them in a safe place.
Make sure to fix the transit bolts prior to moving the washing machine.
