C
Keep the transportation safety bolts in a safe
place to reuse when the washing machine needs
to be moved again in the future.
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.
If you are going to use the double water-inlet
product as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you
must install the supplied stopper to the hot water
valve before operating the product. (Applies for the
products supplied with a blind stopper group.)
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.
1. Connect the special hoses supplied with the
product to the water inlets on the product. Blue
hose (right) (max. 25 ºC) is for cold water inlet.
A
WARNING: Ensure that the cold and hot water
connections are made correctly when installing the
product. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot
at the end of the washing process and wear out.
2. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a tool
when tightening the nuts.
3. 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.
3.5 Connecting to the drain
• The end of the drain hose must be directly
connected to the wastewater drain or to the
washbasin.
• Drain hose shall be attached to a wall drain,
stand pipe or sink siphon connected to the foul
water drain, do not connect to surface water
drains.
A
WARNING: Your 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! To prevent
such situations and to ensure smooth water
intake and discharge of the machine, fix the end
of the discharge hose tightly so that it cannot
come out.
• The hose should be attached to a height of at
least 40 cm, and 100 cm at most.
• In case the 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.
Washing Machine /User’s Manual
13 / EN
Installation
100cm
40cm
• To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the
machine and to allow for easy discharge, do not
immerse the hose end into the dirty water or do
not drive it in the drain 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.

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:

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
