Never move the product without the transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!
3.4 Connecting water supply
C The water supply pressure required to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1 MPa). It is necessary to have 10 – 80 liters of water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is higher.
A warning: Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. In such a case the laundry will get damaged or the product will switch to protection mode and will not operate.
warning: Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.
Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts.
Open the taps completely after making the hose connection to check for water leaks at the connection points. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. To prevent water leakages and damages caused by them, keep the taps closed when the machine is not in use.

Installation
B warning: Damaged power cables must be replaced by the Authorised Service Agents.
Electrical requirements
Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown in the rating label corresponds to your electricity supply.
We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position.
Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or need replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from a Authorised Service Agent.
B warning: This appliance must be earthed.
If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted.
Destroy the old plug, which is cut off as a plug with a bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house. The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTA approved BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from any good electrical store.
Important
Fitting a different plug
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals on your plug, proceed as follows:
1Connect the green - yellow or green (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol f or coloured green and yellow or green.
2Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
3Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
With the alternative plugs a 13A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.
Transportation of the product
1.Unplug the product before transporting it.
2.Remove water drain and water supply connections.
3.Drain all water that has remained in the product. See 6.5
4.Install transportation safety bolts in the reverse order of removal procedure; see 3.3.
C Never move the product without the transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!
