What is needed to install an automatic washing machine. Launch for testing. Types of washing machines

Installing a washing machine with your own hands can be done by almost any man who has the most ordinary set of wrenches, a head on his shoulders and “straight” arms. If you do not have these components, then it will be difficult for you to connect the washing machine yourself, but it is possible. After all, this process is not particularly complicated and the main thing is to follow clear instructions, which we will provide to you.

Choosing a location for the washing machine

The first thing you need to do before installing a washing machine, and even before purchasing it, is to choose a place if you have not yet decided where to put your new washing machine. If it is, for example, a kitchen, then perhaps you will opt for a built-in washing machine. Let's look at the options.

Installing a washing machine in the bathroom– the bathroom is probably the most optimal place to install the washing machine. Although the bathrooms in our apartments are usually small in size, they still have space for a typewriter. The machine can be placed there either next to the rest of the equipment or built under the sink, although in this case you need to choose the right height of the washing machine.

Installing and connecting a washing machine in the kitchen– many owners choose a place for a washing machine in the kitchen. It can be placed either under the kitchen countertop or next to it.

The kitchen is an excellent place if the bathroom is not large, and the kitchen also has better ventilation.

Installing a washing machine in the hallway- Oddly enough, some families use a place in the hallway or closet to install the machine. This is because the space in these areas is sufficient for a washing machine, and is less valuable than space in the kitchen or bathroom.

It doesn’t matter where you choose a place for the washing machine, the main thing is that it meets the following requirements:

• Communications must be close– water supply and sewerage should be as close as possible to the installation site of the washing machine, otherwise you will have to lay them in this place. This also applies to the electrical outlet.
• The floor must be level and stable– the machine should stand level on the floor, it should not sag under its weight. The ideal option would be a concrete floor or tiles.

Preparing the washing machine for installation

Before proceeding directly to installing and connecting the washing machine with your own hands, you must first perform a number of actions:

The first thing you need to do is connect the washing machine to the sewer. To do this, it is best to install a siphon for the washing machine and connect through it. If this is not possible for technical or other reasons, then you can use a simple method: hang the drain hose on the bathtub, and all the water will flow into it.

This method is not very good both from a practical and aesthetic point of view.

No matter how you connect the washing machine to the sewer, you definitely need to read the instructions for it and see if there are requirements for the bending height of the drain hose. In machines with a check valve there may not be such requirements. In the rest, the drain hose must be connected to a height of at least 50 cm from the floor.

To connect the hose itself to the siphon, put the hose on the siphon and secure it with a clamp.

If you connect the hose directly to the sewer pipe, then you need to use a special rubber cuff. It is inserted into the pipe, and the drain hose from the washing machine is plugged into it.

It doesn’t matter which of these methods you use, but there shouldn’t be any leakage during draining.

In order for the washing machine to draw water, you need to connect it to the water supply. To do this you will need a washing machine inlet hose. It can come complete with a washing machine or be purchased separately.

You screw one end of the hose (the one that is curved) to the washing machine. The second end needs to be connected to the water supply distribution. To do this, they usually make a special branch in the pipe with a faucet for the washing machine. Or they make a separate outlet for the machine. In the image you will see the simplest and most classic option for connecting the inlet hose of a washing machine to the water supply.

In front of the flexible hose that goes to the cold water tap, a tee for the washing machine is screwed in and both hoses (for cold water and for the washing machine) are already screwed into it.

There is no need to use additional keys to connect the washing machine to the water supply. The nuts are plastic and are designed to be tightened by hand without additional tools.

Some washing machines have two water connections, hot and cold. In this case, you need to do similar actions with the hot supply.

Leveling the washing machine

After we connected the washing machine to the sewer, we need to level it out so that there is no vibration and noise. The legs of washing machines are adjustable, so if your floor is a little crooked, then you shouldn’t worry too much. In order for the washing machine to stand level, we need a level.

To begin with, we place a level along the washing machine and unscrew or, on the contrary, screw in the legs in order to change the tilt in the direction we need.

After the machine is level, you need to rock it slightly, pressing on the corners, it should not rock or vibrate. If this happens, then adjust the legs, not forgetting the level.

Connecting the washing machine to electricity
There's really nothing complicated here. The washing machine just needs to be plugged into a power outlet and it will work. But there are still some requirements for the electrical network, let's look at them:

• Ideally The washing machine must be grounded, that is, your house must have a ground connection, and your outlet must have a corresponding third wire.
• But as a rule, grounding is not used in most Soviet houses, and in this case it is not possible to ground the machine. In this case you need to use an RCD with a cut-off current of 10mA for bathrooms and 30 mA for the apartment as a whole.
• Also, if the machine is installed in the bathroom, then it is necessary to use a special socket protected from moisture.

After installation

After you have completed all the steps, you need to start the first wash without laundry, after which the machine will be ready for use. To more clearly demonstrate to you the installation process and the correct connection of the washing machine to the sewer and water supply with your own hands, we have posted a video that you can watch below.

So, you bought a washing machine and are going to connect it yourself. The solution is commendable - you will save on the services of a specialist, but you need to imagine the sequence of actions to install the washing machine.

The main conditions for ensuring the normal operation of the unit are the dismantling of the transport elements, the correct connection of the washing machine with your own hands to the network, water supply and sewerage, and correct installation on the floor.

The first thing you need to do to install the washing machine yourself is to remove all the shipping fasteners.

They are needed only for transporting the machine, but in stationary work they will not only interfere, but also cause harm.

Most often, these mysterious elements look like bolts, bars and steel brackets.

If you connect a machine with the shipping parts installed, then after a while (1-6 months) it will simply break down.

Try to save all removed transport elements in case of possible transportation of the machine to another place.

At the very least, the tank will definitely need to be secured with bolts.

The dismantling of transport parts is described in detail and with pictures in the operating instructions.

Installation location

If the machine will be installed in the kitchen or in a room (not in the bathroom), then there must be a reinforced concrete floor under it. It is not recommended to install the washing machine on a wooden floor, linoleum or laminate - the machine will constantly vibrate both during washing and during spinning.

In any case, you have reinforced concrete floor slabs under the wooden flooring, so you need to remove the wooden floor and fill the area under the machine with concrete mortar to the level of the old floor.

Subsequently, you can adjust the tightness of the legs of the machine to all four points on the floor - for this, the legs are equipped with threads.

If the floor under the machine is perfectly level (check with a level), then screw the legs in all the way - the shorter the height of the legs, the less conditions for vibration.

If the machine is installed in the bathroom, then the floor there is already concrete, and you don’t need to do anything. The only obstacle is the tiles on the floor. The machine can slide on it when working, so you just need to place a rubber mat under it.

If this is not done, then after a while you will see that the tiles under the machine will begin to crack and break into small pieces.

Installation

How to connect a washing machine to communications?

First of all, you need to connect the washing machine to a cold water supply and lay a pipeline to drain dirty water.

Most existing models have limited maximum and minimum outlet heights.

Therefore, to connect the machine to the sewer system, you need to install another siphon.

Drainage can also be organized more simply by simply securing the end of the drain hose to the edge of the sink or bathtub. The mount is included.

But it is safer to permanently connect the drain hose to the sewer system.

Keep in mind that the maximum length of the drain hose is indicated in the instructions and is designed for the pump installed in the machine, so it is not recommended to extend it.

The drain hose is connected to the sewer through a special siphon, which prevents the unpleasant smell of stagnant water from entering the apartment from the machine and sewer. Or you can bend the end of the hose so that a water plug is formed.

Some instructions recommend making a loose connection at the drain point. Why is this being done? To avoid water being sucked from the washing machine into the sewage system and to prevent the program running by the machine from freezing.

If you make a loose connection, then the air gap should be several centimeters higher than the possible rise of water in the bathroom if the sewer is clogged.

How to adjust the position

Installing a washing machine yourself is quite simple. However, very often the floor in the bathroom is sloped, so the washing machine must be leveled using legs that are threaded and screwed in.

It is desirable that the height of the legs after adjustment be minimal. The horizontal position is easy to adjust - rock the machine diagonally and screw in the corresponding leg until the machine body is in a stable position. You need to rotate the leg in the desired direction to achieve a stable position of the machine on the floor.

There are also washing machines that can be installed in kitchen furniture. A washing machine that is not intended to be built into furniture cannot be installed inside it, since the slightest vibration during operation will render the furniture unusable.

How to connect to a water supply

The machine is permanently connected with a special flexible hose with a diameter of ¾ inches.

After washing, it is advisable to turn off the water, so you will need to install an additional valve on the cold water supply.

It is needed to protect the machine from large debris that may be in the water.

Often such inclusions appear after repair or maintenance work on the water supply system. These could be pieces of rust, sand, dirt, etc. The filter needs to be cleaned periodically. The industry produces taps for drainage from tees and couplings, and for drainage and connection to toilet tanks and faucets mounted on the wall.

Therefore, depending on the location of the washing machine, you can always choose the appropriate shut-off valves. These taps can also be used to beautifully connect faucets in a new hidden water supply system.

To connect the drain hose to the bathtub, you will need a longer hose than the existing one. This is not a very convenient connection, since before each wash you will need to remove the gooseneck on the hose and extend the hose with another piece.

The advantages of this method of draining water are that your washing machine will never leak when idle, because the inlet hose is not connected.

Many models of automatic machines are equipped with the Aqua-Stop system. This is an inlet hose equipped at the end with special solenoid valves. Such a unit is connected to a 220 Volt network. Both the wires and the hose are contained in a flexible protective casing.

If the washing machine is not working, then this solenoid valve shuts off the water supply and water cannot flow into the machine.

In order for the machine to work correctly and for a long time, it is necessary to maintain a horizontal position of the top cover. A horizontal deviation of no more than 2° is allowed, which can be checked with a regular level.

Also, for some rooms, it is necessary to rigidly fasten the legs to the floor, for example, on an unstable wooden floor, on a slippery and inclined floor, etc. For such installation, some models have special fastenings - brackets for the front legs.

Electrical connection

Safety precautions when working with a washing machine are an indispensable condition.

How to connect a washing machine to electricity?

To comply with safety regulations, it is necessary to connect the machine from a distribution board with a neutral or grounding wire with a cross-section of 3 mm.

The socket must also be designed for three wires.

Pay attention to the following point - the grounding must be separate; it cannot be connected to heating radiators, water supply or gas supply.

If there are other powerful consumers near the machine (dishwasher, electric stove or air conditioner), then you can connect to them.

Otherwise, the only safe option is to lay a three-wire powerful cable.

Such work must be carried out with appropriate training. Therefore, it is better to use the services of specialists. They will solve the problem of connecting and supplying cables comprehensively and in accordance with all safety rules.

Alternatively, a two-wire connection can be made using a portable RCD that is controlled by differential current. To do this, an automatic circuit breaker and an RCD (automatic shutdown device) are installed next to the meter on a separate distribution board.

Portable residual current devices (RCDs)

The RCD is designed to cut off the mains voltage if you touch live parts or a metal part of a faulty washing machine.

The installation of portable RCDs also aims to protect the premises from a possible fire of a machine with damaged electrical insulation.

What do you gain from installing an RCD:

1. The connection can be carried out independently, without calling a specialist.
2. Work in a wide temperature range.
3. Operating voltage range – from 115 to 265 V.
4. Voltage indicator installed.
5. The small dimensions and weight of the device allow it to be mounted in any convenient place and in any position.
6. Protection of the connected device in the event of a break in the ground wire, protection against impulse and lightning overloads.
7. Universal use of RCD - the device can work with any electrical appliances with a power of up to 3 kW.

Technical characteristics of portable RCDs

This is a general list of work and devices required to properly connect the washing machine. If you follow them correctly, you will not have to study information about repairing washing machines.

There is no point in risking a new expensive machine simply because you had no desire to read the instructions or training information.

Finally, your dream has come true - you have appeared in the house. Doing laundry will now be a pleasure! But before this happens, you need to install and connect the washing unit. You can do this yourself, you don’t have to invite specialists.

First of all, carefully read the instructions for your washing machine. Unpack it and remove the seals located on the sides of the machine (if any). Then look carefully to see if there are any scratches or any defects on the car, and also check the package contents. And if everything is in order, you can install the washing machine in a permanent place. For the machine to work successfully, you need to connect it to electricity, water supply and sewage system.

Installation and connection of the washing machine

Check the strength of all connections and joints again. You can turn on the water and open the tap that allows water to flow into the machine. And now it’s time to run a test wash. To do this, you need to select a program that has the minimum time, and select the maximum temperature (this is required to remove residual lubricant from the machine). Carefully monitor the process: are there any leaks anywhere, is the machine body “pinched” by electricity, is it “jumping”? And if the installation of your washing machine was correct, then the washing will be successful.

An automatic washing machine has long become a common thing in almost every apartment. The device can be connected by technicians from the store where it was purchased, or by invited specialists. But many people prefer to install the washing machine themselves, especially since the process is not so complicated. If you got this household appliance from relatives or friends, or you simply don’t want to spend money on the services of specialists, then you can do all the work yourself. So how to install a washing machine correctly? For the normal functioning of the machine, you need to comply with all the requirements for its installation, correctly connect to the necessary communications, and also figure out how to ground the washing machine and why it is needed.

How to choose the right place for a washing machine?

The selection of a place to connect the washing machine must be made even before choosing its model. This is explained simply: it is much easier to choose a unit with the required dimensions than to rack your brains over where to put an already purchased device.

The washing machine will have to be connected to the sewer and water supply. It would be wiser to choose a place for installation near them. There are several options.

Bathroom

The simplest solution is to install an automatic washing machine in the bathroom. Very often washing machines are placed in it. The advantages are obvious: all communications are close, the drain hose can simply be directed to the bathroom. But there are also plenty of disadvantages to such placement.

1. Due to high humidity, a regular outlet cannot be installed in the bathroom; it must only be moisture-proof.
2. All parts and assemblies of the automatic machine will have to work in conditions of excess humidity, which will not extend their service life.
3. Most bathrooms in apartment buildings have more than modest dimensions. You will have to sacrifice something to put a washing machine there. Sometimes in such cases the sink is removed, which does not add convenience.

Kitchen

Here communications are also nearby, and there is more free space. In this case, the automatic machine is installed under the countertop, and for this it is not even necessary to select a built-in model. Please note that a washing machine installed under a countertop must be placed on the floor, and not on the base of the furniture, and the back of the box in which it will be located must be absent.

Corridor or storage room

If the width is sufficient, you can install the washing machine in the hallway. But it’s better if there is a small storage room next to the bathroom. It is ideal: it is easy to make a hole in the partition for laying communications, and comfortable conditions will ensure a long service life for all units and mechanisms.

HELPFUL INFORMATION: How to choose doors to the bathroom and toilet

During operation, the washing machine is subject to strong vibrations, so it is advisable to install it on a rigid base - concrete or ceramic tiles. How to install a washing machine on a wooden floor, which increases vibration? You can use special rubber stands that dampen not only vibrations, but also noise. You can buy them at the same store that sells washing machines.

Preparing the washing machine for installation

How to install a washing machine so that it does not jump or shake? If the car is new and just delivered from the store, then the first thing you need to do is rid it of the box and fasteners that protect the product during transportation. These can be bars and staples.

When transporting the washing machine, the rotating parts are firmly fixed with bolts. They should be unscrewed and the holes should be closed with the plastic plugs supplied. The drum should hang on the springs. Once you turn on a machine that has not had these bolts removed first, it will likely result in costly repairs.

When delivering from a store, all these manipulations should be completed before signing the receipt documents. It is necessary to carefully check the washing machine for external damage and scratches. If you rock it a little, there should be no knocks or other extraneous sounds. Without such a check, it is quite possible to receive a unit with a defect, and it will be almost impossible to prove that the device was not damaged by you.

The washing machine is installed on a pedestal and leveled using a level. Twist-out feet are used for adjustment. The slightest misalignment is fraught with increased vibration and noise during washing.

Connecting the washing machine to the water supply

The process of supplying water to the washing machine is simple. We will tell you how to install and connect the washing machine. Connection diagrams may be different, but the general requirements must always be met:

• The pipeline branch supplying water to the washing machine must be equipped with shut-off valves. It is recommended to use ball valves. Then, if a leak occurs, you can quickly shut off the water supply to the machine.
• The pressure in the pipes should not be less than one atmosphere. If the pressure is insufficient, you will have to install a special pump.
• Clogged water can quickly damage the washing machine mechanism. As a rule, most of their models are equipped with standard mechanical cleaning filters. If water of increased hardness enters the apartment, it is recommended to additionally install a polyphosphate filter. It is a flask filled with an active substance that prevents the appearance of scale. The filter media can be easily changed as you use it.

HELPFUL INFORMATION: Examples of bathroom design with shower and bathtub

It is important to remember that water passed through a polyphosphate cartridge is only suitable for technical needs and cannot be used for food purposes.

To connect the washing machine, flexible hoses with a diameter of ¾ inches are usually used. The hot water supply is used very rarely, so one hose for supplying cold water is sufficient.

• If the apartment has metal pipes, then the easiest way is to make the connection yourself using a crimp coupling. Its two halves are bolted to the pipe, securely fixing the sealing gasket. After this, a hole in a pipe with a diameter of 10 mm is drilled directly through the threaded outlet for the tap. A ball valve is installed, and a flexible hose leading to the machine is connected to it. The joints are sealed with rubber cuffs.
• A tee is installed on metal-plastic pipes. After the tap is made in the right place and the fitting is installed, the tap and flexible hose are installed. You can connect the washing machine to the water supply.
• Sometimes a method is used to supply water to the machine through a tee on the outlet of the water supply for the mixer or flush tank. But before each wash, you will have to unscrew the flexible hose leading to the mixer. Therefore, this method can only be considered as a temporary option.

Connecting the washing machine to the sewer

In addition to supplying water to the washing machine, it is also necessary to resolve the issue of draining waste liquid. Simply put, you need to connect the household appliance to the sewer. The easiest way is to attach the drain pipe to the hook that comes with each machine, on the edge of the bathtub or sink. But this method is also the most unreliable: you cannot use a bathtub or sink at the same time, in addition, the drain hose can simply be accidentally touched, which will lead to flooding of your neighbors. Therefore, it is safer to make a permanent connection to the washing machine.

There may be several options:

• Through the sewer lines of the sink, for which you need to purchase a special siphon with a drain for washing machines. It should be located above the siphon knee. In this case, the unit must be installed nearby, since the drain hose cannot be extended.
• Insert the machine hose into the plastic sewer pipe. It is easy to make a hole in it with a hacksaw, after which a tee and a section with a pipe are inserted into it. All connections are reliably sealed, and the drain hose is inserted into a separate siphon.

HELPFUL INFORMATION: Selecting screens for the bathroom: description and installation features

Often, the drain design of many washing machines has a check valve that prevents water from being sucked in from the sewer. If it is not there, then the drain hose must have an S-shaped bend and be positioned as written in the instructions. That is, the connection to the sewer must be below the level of the washing machine tank.

How to properly connect the washing machine to the power supply?

Modern models of washing machines have quite a solid power, which averages about 2.5 kW. Despite the presence of double insulation, these devices are sources of increased danger. Therefore, their connection must be made through a separate circuit breaker with an RCD (residual current device), and grounding is required.

It is important to note that many companies do not install washing machines if there is no grounded outlet. The warranty for these expensive household appliances is not valid if it turns out that they were operated without grounding.

In old houses, where sockets do not have a grounding wire, grounding is organized through a panel from which electricity goes to the apartment. If you do the grounding yourself, then remember that you should not connect the washing machine body to pipes or heating radiators. This can lead to damage to expensive equipment, and the possibility of electric shock to people in neighboring rooms cannot be ruled out.

Tired of washing by hand? This means you should buy an automatic car. But it is important to consider that one purchase is not enough to start using it immediately. It is important to understand how to install a washing machine correctly. In modern society, almost everyone has this easy-to-use device. You simply cannot do without it. To save money when purchasing and not have to pay separately for the installation of the machine, you can try to install it yourself. Before purchasing, ask the sellers if the warranty on this device can be lost if you install it yourself? If this does not happen, you can safely proceed with the installation without fear.

Installation steps

To properly install a washing machine, you need to follow some rules and do everything step by step. There are several specific steps worth noting:

• Inspection of purchased equipment;
• Removing all transportation parts;
• Choosing a location for installation;
• Installation of the machine according to the level;
• Connecting the device to the water supply;
• Connection to sewerage;
• Connecting the machine to the electrical network;
• Launch for testing.

Inspection of purchased equipment

If you ordered home delivery when purchasing this equipment, when it was delivered to you, carefully inspect the machine that was delivered to you. Do not forget to sign on the courier delivery form.

You need to do the following:

1. Ask the courier to unpack the machine.
2. Check carefully to see if there are any dents or scratches on the outer covering.
3. Lightly shake the car in one direction and the other. A good reason to replace the equipment is if you hear any knocks or noises.
4. Even if you didn’t like something, don’t be shy to say so right away, because you spent your money to purchase this equipment.
5. Remember, you can only sign for receipts if you are completely sure that there are no problems with the washing machine.
6. Since you will be using your purchase for several years, do not listen to the courier’s persuasion, since it makes no difference to them what kind of device they sell, broken or good.

Removing all parts

This stage includes the removal of transportation parts. To ensure that nothing is damaged during transportation, special parts are installed. To understand which parts to remove and which not, it is worth saying that blocks, staples and bolts are used for transportation. Such dismantling is very important, since if it is not done, when this equipment is turned on, the machine may simply break down. It is best to read the instructions in advance.

Choosing a location for installation

Now it's important to decide where to install your new acquisition.

Sometimes the only installation option is the kitchen. This happens when the dimensions of the apartment are very small. If you squeeze out other devices, you can place the washing machine in the bathroom. Interestingly, the corridor is also considered an advantageous installation option; in some cases, this is the only correct option.

To understand where the machine will stand, you need to measure everything, and also find out what the dimensions of your purchase are. It is best not to place this equipment close to the wall, as it vibrates during operation. The minimum distance between the wall and the machine is two or three centimeters. Regardless of where the device will be placed, in the kitchen or in the bathroom, it is worth remembering that the surface under it must be flat. Some people prefer to do this installation in the kitchen under the sink.

Installing the machine according to the level

To keep the car level horizontally, you need to use a level. note that At the bottom of the washing machine there are special supports that are adjustable. In new models, such supports are located only at the front.

To fix each leg at the required height, you should use a special lock nut. It is very important to clamp it well, because if this is not done, over time the legs will unwind and you will have to start all over again.

Connecting the device to water supply and sewerage

If you have everything in your apartment for an automatic car, then the work is completely easier. If this is not the case, you need to work hard and make all the inserts yourself.

Perhaps the necessary connections have already been prepared, then you just need to connect the machine to the water supply with a special hose. This hose comes with the equipment. You will also need to insert a special corrugated hose for water supply into the tee of the sewer system.

To do everything yourself, you need to purchase the following parts:

• Tee;
• Adapter from 1/2" thread to 3/4" thread;
• Valve;
• PTFE sealed tape.

All of the above parts need to be put together. When the assembly is assembled, you need to cut the water pipe and insert a tee. Afterwards, you need to attach the hose from the machine to the valve through an adapter.

If you think that the valve is not needed, then remember that it will allow you to disconnect the machine from the water supply at the right time. Thanks to the valve, this can be done without shutting off the water supply.

To make a tap, look at what your pipes are made of. If they are iron, then you need to use a welding machine for them, if they are plastic, then you need a soldering iron. If you do not have such tools, then you need to buy a branch coupling. The price and diameter for pipes may vary. You need to buy 15 millimeters or perhaps a little more.

Now you need to think about how to install a washing machine drain? To connect the machine to the sewer, you need to take the following materials and tools:

• Branch – diameter 5 cm, length 40 cm;
• Tee 5 cm;
• Coupling;
• Rubber cuff;
• Fastening clamp;
• Air valve 5 cm.

It is important to ensure that there is clear access to the drain hose at the drain point. Afterwards, using a hacksaw for metal, you need to make an entrance for a 12 cm pipe in that place. You need to insert a five centimeter tee and a coupling into the hole made. Plastic pipes must be installed so that they can move freely from side to side in order to install the tee and coupling.

If you place the machine under the countertop in the kitchen, pay attention to the sewer riser. In the bathroom the riser is 10 cm, but in the kitchen it is half as much - 5 cm. Also take into account what floor you live on and how old your house is.

The question may arise, how to install a built-in washing machine? Usually you need to make a built-in machine when the apartment itself is small and the kitchen is too. It is important to remember that some clearance from the countertop is necessary so that it does not touch the chipboard during washing. Connecting such machines is also done according to the above-mentioned scheme, but it is a little more complicated, since it takes into account that there are tables around the machine.

Video on how to install a washing machine

Connecting the machine to the electrical network

For the machine to work, you need to guarantee it:

• Water;
• Sewerage;
• Electricity.

In accordance with these three points, you need to determine where it is best to install the device in the apartment. If you decide to install an automatic machine in the bathroom, you need to remember that there are two ways to connect to electricity:

1. Connect using an extension cord;
2. Place an outlet nearby.

The socket is different from the usual one. It must have a grounding contact. Electrical safety must be taken seriously, since the bathtub is a source of dampness.

Perhaps your plug will not fit into your outlet, then you will have to buy an adapter for the outlet.

Launch for testing

Remembering how much the device you bought costs, you need to do a test download very carefully. This check does not include washing items. You just need to add washing powder and turn on the washing mode, thanks to this you will not only be able to check how the machine works, but also clean it of dust and factory debris. Pay attention to how the water is poured, how quickly and how it heats up. If spinning and draining are performed correctly, then everything is in order.

Some users even install a washing machine in the toilet if there is no room anywhere else. The place where you can install the device may be above the toilet barrel. This place is also quite advantageous, since there is not only a good drainage and water supply, but also some have sockets for connecting to electricity.

When performing all work, be especially careful. Pay attention to how to level the washing machine, how to safely connect it to electricity and water supply, and choose the most optimal and convenient location for you. Then washing clothes will not only bring you pleasure, it will also save your time.
