How to install a washing machine

First of all, it should be noted that this techniqueIt can be placed only in rooms where the temperature does not drop below 3 degrees Celsius. It is also not recommended to put the washing machine under direct sunlight. Besides, When unpacking a new device, be sure to remove the so-called transport screws, located on the rear wall of the machine itself, so that the tank located inside, hung only on the springs. This is necessary for the correct operation of the device.

Also, care should be taken to ensure that The washing machine stood on absolutely flat surface. Otherwise, there is a risk ofmalfunction during washing. However, manufacturers of modern washing machines took measures in the case of uneven floors, providing their products with special adjustable legs. Changing their height, you can pretty easily put the machine in the correct position.

For the correct installation of the washing machine on the floor, there must necessarily be a hard coating (tile or linoleum) that will ensure good ventilation under the device. As for hoses, then, as a rule, schemestheir connection is in the instructions that come with the washing machine. At the same time, it should be taken into account that neither the hoses nor the cords need to be squeezed or strongly bent.

Before the machine is switched on directly you need to make sure that the voltage in it corresponds to the one indicated in the technical data sheet of the device. It should be noted that it is not recommended to use extension cords or adapters for connection because of their possible overheating or even fire.

Besides, It is strongly recommended to use only grounded sockets, since there is a risk of electric shockcurrent when touching the drum while taking out things. Also, do not touch the body of the machine during its operation, if there is a wet floor in your bathroom or the room where the unit is standing.

To install a washing machine, you need to know that it is connected only to cold water. The fact is that hot water contains muchmore dirt, as a result of which it is necessary to clean the filter installed at the entrance to the washing machine, much more often. In addition, hot water is more stringent, and this contributes to a greater consumption of detergent. However, there are such models of machines that are connected to cold and hot water at the same time.

As for the hose for discharging water from the machine, it can be connected to the sewer system itself, for example, under the sink, or just drop this hose into the tub, from where it itself drains into the sewer. In the latter case, make sure that the hose fastening is sufficiently reliable and under the pressure of water it will not fall out of the bath and will not fill the floor.

As you could see, in order to install a washing machine, It is only necessary to put it on a flat surface, connect it to a grounded outlet and take care of water intake and discharge. However, if you are not sure that you will be able to deal with all this yourself, we recommend that you seek help from a specialist. In addition, if necessary, be sure to call an electrician to ground the outlets.
