4.1 Installation

•Apply to the nearest authorized service agent for the installation of your product.

•Preparation of the location and electrical, tap water and waste water installations at the place of installation is under customer's responsibility.

•Make sure that the water inlet and discharge hoses as well as the power cable are not folded, pinched or crushed while pushing the product into its place after installation or cleaning procedures.

•Make sure that the installation and electrical connections of the product are performed by authorized service. Manufacturer shall not be held liable for damages that may arise from procedures carried out by unauthorized persons.

•Prior to installation, visually check if the product has any defects on it. If so, do not have it installed. Damaged products cause risks for your safety.

4.1.1Appropriate installation location

•Place the product on a hard and level floor. Do not put it onto a carpet with high pile or other similar surfaces.

•When the washing machine and dryer are placed on top of each other, their total weight –when loaded– amounts to 180 kilograms. Place the product on a solid and flat floor that has sufficient load carrying capacity!

•Do not place the product on the power cable.

•Do not install the product in the environments where the temperature falls below 0 ºC.

•Leave a minimum space of 1 cm between the machine and the furniture.

•On a graduated floor, do not place the product next to the edge or on a platform.

•Do not place heat sources such as Hobs, Irons, Ovens, etc. on the washing machine and do not use them on the product.

4.1.4 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 CAUTION: 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.

CAUTION: Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.

1 Tighten the nuts of the hose by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts.

2 When hose connection is completed, check whether there is leak problems at the connection points by opening the taps fully. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut.

Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. In order to prevent the water leaks and resultant damages, keep the taps closed when you do not use the product.

4.1.5 Connecting the drain hose to the drain

• Attach the end of the drain hose directly to waste water drain, lavatory or bathtub.

A CAUTION: Your drain house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! In order to prevent such situations and make sure that the machine performs water intake and discharge processes without any problem, fix the drain hose securely.

• Connect the drain hose to a minimum height of 40 cm and a maximum height of 100 cm.

• In case the drain hose is elevated after laying it on the floor level or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above the ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out excessively wet. Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure.

•To prevent the waste water to go back into the machine again and to ensure easy drainage, do not immerse the end of the hose into the waste water or do not insert it into the drain for more than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short.

•The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must not be pinched between the drain and the machine.

•If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. Length of the hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an appropriate clamp as not to come off and leak.

4.1.6 Adjusting the feet

A CAUTION: In order to ensure that the product operates more silently and vibration-free, it must stand level and balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting the feet. Otherwise, the product may move from its place and cause crushing and vibration problems.

CAUTION: Do not use any tools to loosen the lock nuts. Otherwise, they will get damaged.

1 Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by hand.

2 Adjust the feet until the product stands in a stable and balanced way. 3. Tighten all lock nuts by spanner again.

•Do not make connections via extension cables or multi-plugs.

B CAUTION: Damaged power cables must be replaced by the Authorized 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.

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:

1 Connect 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.

2 Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black. 3 Connect 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.
