We remove transport elements

Before installing the machine, it is necessary to remove all fasteners. They are installed in order to transport the equipment and not to damage the drum in transit.

To fix the machine in transit, use the following elements:

  • Bolts - they fix the tank before transportation. They must be removed. Otherwise, there will be no depreciation at the tank, and the machine itself will vibrate strongly during operation. After the bolts are removed, the tank will be placed on the springs, which will not allow it to swing the technique. The holes that remain of the bolts are closed by plugs;
  • Braces - when transporting equipment they strengthen the body and fix the cord and hoses;
  • Wooden blocks - they are not installed in every model. It is necessary to glance between the tank and the hull, if they are there, be sure to remove.

Fixing parts can damage the engine if they are not removed before starting the operation. No matter how much detail, throw them out is not recommended in case of moving.

Where to install the machine gun?

Next to the washing machine is supposed the location of the electrical outlet.

In view of the fact that this type of technology is a source of formation of moisture, heat, it is worthwhile to carefully approach the choice of location.

The engine contacts are hidden under the protective cover. From the eyes of man they are hidden, but they remain bare for air.

In the bathroom it is not recommended to install the specialists, since the humidity in this room is already above the norm.

When installing a machine in the kitchen, it is advisable to choose: to wash or cook, since this part of the housing also has a high humidity.

Ideal for installation of washing equipment - a small room for household needs.

There rarely come tenants, the moisture indicator is normal, working equipment will not stop people, and making a hole in the wall to connect technology to communications is not a difficult matter.

When installing the machine it is necessary to equip the floor. On the laminate, linoleum, tile, wood experts do not recommend installing. The best floor covering is reinforced concrete.

The place where the unit will stand is freed from the decorative coating and poured with concrete.

The surface must be made even. If there are slight inaccuracies, the level can be adjusted with threaded legs during installation.

If the floor is tiled, it is recommended to put a rubber mat under the washing machine. Otherwise, vibration tiles under the legs cracked.

To determine the stability of the machine, you can shake it from side to side, then unscrew the foot.

In this case it is important to try to establish a technique by twisting the legs to the minimum distance.

The washing machine can be installed in furniture. Before this, it is worth making sure that the technique is designed for such a place. Otherwise, the furniture will shake after a short time.

Connection of the washing machine

An important step is to connect the machine to the water machine with a cold water supply, to discharge the dirty water into the sewer.

Water connection

The washing machine is connected to the water supply system permanently. For this, a flexible hose is provided.

In places of hose connections with other components, it is worthwhile using rubber gaskets for sealing. How many items you need to connect depends on the location of the unit.

Connection options
After washing has been completed, it is recommended to completely cover the water that is fed to the equipment.

For this, before installing the machine-machine must be placed on the water pipe with cold water additional tap.

There are many kinds of couplings, tees, which need to be bought in building shops in order to make a high quality connection.

Immediately after the crane is mandatory installation of a grid, which will filter the garbage from the water pipe. It often appears after repair work in the form of sand, rust, other inclusions.

It is recommended to clean the filter from time to time.

Automated machine models are produced that have a special system that prevents water from entering the unit in the idle state. Such a system is called Aqua-stop.

At the end of the hose, through which water is supplied for washing, there are solenoid valves. The system is connected to the network. All wires and hose are protected by a special casing.

If the washing does not take place, the valve closes the cold water supply.

Sewage connection

The drain can be arranged by attaching the drain hose to the sink or bathtub. For this, all the components are included. But it is not always possible to fix the drain hose when washing.

In this case, the machine must be connected directly to the sewer. This connection is considered the most secure.

When connecting equipment to the sewage system, it is worth considering - the length of the drain hose is not recommended to be increased. It is designed for a pump installed in the machine.

The connection of the drain hose to the sewerage is via a siphon. It is necessary to provide an additional siphon in advance.

This sink attachment will prevent the appearance of an unpleasant odor in the room.

In some models of machines, it is recommended not to connect the drain to the siphon very tightly. Otherwise, water will be sucked in and the program will hang.

However, it should be borne in mind that the gap should be above the water level in case of sewerage clogging.

Video in this article will show how you can properly connect the equipment yourself.

Connecting a machine without a water pipe

Washing machines are also needed in a village where there is no central water supply. Hand washing is a laborious process, so the question arises: how to connect automatic equipment to facilitate work?

There is the simplest option - drain the hose into a ditch or a cesspool on the street. The water for washing has to be worn independently and poured as needed.

This method is complicated. Throughout the wash, you need to be near the machine to fill it with water. How much water is required for the complete washing cycle is indicated in the instructions.

It's a waste of a lot of time. In addition, the water will need a lot.

There is another option to connect the machine-machine - to purchase a pumping station and connect it to a water source. The pump will supply water to the machine during washing.

In this case, it is necessary to buy a filter, so that water comes without pollution.

Another option for connecting equipment without a water pipe is to install a tank with water. It should be located above the machine.

In this case, the water itself will create the necessary pressure, and the washing will take place in normal mode.

In the case of choosing this connection, it is worthwhile to correctly calculate the capacity of the tank, so that the water is sufficient for the entire cycle of washing.

When carrying out washing in the village, you need to take into account the water hardness level. If it is high, it is recommended to use softeners. Otherwise, a breakdown of the engine or TEN is unavoidable.

If none of the options for some reason does not fit, it is worth buying a rotary typewriter of the old model. It does not require a mandatory connection to the water supply. Water is poured manually.

But the quality of washing will be lower than in the automatic machine. On the video you can see the connection of the machine without a water pipe.

What you need to consider when connecting equipment to the electrical network?

When working with electrical appliances it is important to comply with all safety requirements. The automatic machine is not an exception in this.

The motor must be connected from the distribution board by means of a wire that has a cross section of 3 millimeters. The socket is also worth counting for 3 wires.

Special attention should be paid to grounding. It is forbidden to connect it to the water pipe, battery, gas supply.

But if the room has air conditioning or other large equipment, then the machine can be connected to such devices.

If it is not possible to connect to another equipment, then it is necessary to lay the cable with high power. If there is no experience in carrying out such work, it is better to contact specialists.

You can connect the engine of the machine to the mains and yourself. To do this, you must use an automatic shutdown device.

It works by the influence of a differential current. Install it on the distribution board near the meter.

RCD function - if the washing machine is faulty, when the appliance is touched or other metal parts, the mains voltage is disconnected.

In addition, ignition of machinery is prevented and engine failure in the event of damage to the electrical insulation.

Advantages of installing an automatic shutdown device:

  • RCDs can be connected by themselves, without involving specialists;
  • device can operate at any external temperature, its differences do not affect the operation of the RCD;
  • voltage in the network can fluctuate in the range of 115-265 volts;
  • device is equipped with a voltage indicator, which allows you to monitor the supply of current;The
  • is small in size, so it can be installed anywhere;
  • if there is a ground fault, the device will be able to protect the motor from overloads.
