Removing the transport clamps from your machine		see diagrams D1-D2-D3

BEFORE USING THE MACHINE IN ANY WAY, YOU MUST FIRST PERFORM THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS.

These comprise removing all the components designed to immobilise the drum in your machine during transport.

These so-called “releasing” operations are necessary for your machine to operate correctly and to conform to the prevailing safety standards.

If they are not carried out completely, this could cause severe damage to your machine while it is operating.

1 - Remove the washing machine from its plinth (check that the wedge supporting the motor is not still inserted in the machine) (Diagram D1. )

2 - Remove the 4 screws with a screwdriver (Diagram D1. )

3 - Remove the cross clamp by removing the 2 screws (Diagram D1. ) using a 10 or 13mm spanner (depending on the model). (Ensure that you remove the two plastic braces fixed on the cross clamp at the same time as the clamp itself).

Replace the screws in their initial positions.

4 - You must block off the two holes using the hole covers provided (supplied in the accessories bag) (Diagram D1. )

5 - Remove the drum-tank assembly locking wedge (Diagram D2). To do this:

-Lift the lid on the machine

-Remove wedge

-Remove wedge by turning it a quarter turn

-Release the drum doors, locked in the lower position, by pressing down on both eaves simultaneously.

6 - Remove the pipe support collars You must block off the holes revealed with the hole covers supplied in the accessories bag (Diagram D3).

We would recommend that you keep all the locking components since these must be refitted if you must subsequently transport your machine again.

All these components, just like all the components in your machine, are made of recyclable materials and it is useful to bear this in mind when you eventually come to dispose of your machine at the end of its useful life.

Your machine has been scrupulously checked before it left the factory. You may therefore notice a little water still remaining in the tank or the products box.

Installing your machine

Mounting it on castors:

If your machine is equipped with removable castors, you will be able to move it quite easily.

To mount it on castors, swivel the lever on the bottom of the machine from the right to the far left (Diagram D4).

The machine must not rest on the “front” castors while it is operating: remember to return the lever to its initial position.

Levelling the machine:

Use a spirit level to check that the floor is horizontal: maximum slope 2°, i.e. a discrepancy of approximately 1cm over the width and of 1.5cm over the depth of the machine.

Connecting your machine

Connecting the cold water supply

Connect the supply hose (Diagram D5) :

-At one end to the connection on the back of the machine

-On the other end to a tap fitted with a threaded end 20mm dia. x 27 (3/4 BSP).

If you use a self-piercing tap, the useful aperture must have a minimum diameter of 6mm.

Water supply:

-Minimum water pressure: 0.07 MPa or 0.7 bar

-Maximum water pressure: 1 MPa or 10 bars

Draining away the waste water

Fit the hose bracket provided inside your machine to the end of the drain hose and then connect the hose (Diagram D6) :

•Either, temporarily, over a sink or a bathtub.

•Or permanently to a ventilated U-bend.

If your installation does not have a ventilated U-bend, check that the connection is not sealed. In fact, to avoid any waste water flowing back into the machine, you are strongly recommended to leave an air gap between the machine’s drain hose and the drainpipe.

In any case, the drain hose bracket must be placed at a height of 65 to 90cm higher than the base of the machine.

Ensure that the drain hose is tied firmly in place with cord to avoid the bracket coming loose during draining and causing a flood.

The waste water can be drained away to the ground provided that the drain hose passes through a point 65 to 90cm higher than the base of the machine.

see diagrams D4

Your machine’s surroundings:

If you are installing your machine next to another machine or a unit, we recommend that you leave a gap between them to allow for air circulation.

We also strongly recommend that you do NOT:

-Install your machine in a damp, poorly ventilated room.

-Install your machine in an area where it could be subject to water splashes.

-Install your machine on a carpeted floor.

If you cannot avoid doing this, please take every precaution to avoid blocking air circulation at the bottom of the machine in order to ensure that the internal components are well ventilated.

see diagrams D5-D6-D7

On any new installation (following a move or resale, etc.), the machine must be connected using new hoses. The old hoses must not be reused.

For your safety, you must comply with the instructions belo

Electrical supply (Diagram D7)

•Before connecting your machine, you must ensure that your installation’s electrical characteristics match those of your machine (see the details provided on the information plate affixed to the back of the machine).

•The electrical installation must comply with the prevailing standards and the Electricity Board’s regulations in the country concerned, particularly as regards Earthing and installation in shower rooms.

We cannot be held responsible for any incident caused by the machine being incorrectly earthed.

Advice on the electrical installation of your machine

•Do not use an extension lead, adapter or multiple socket.

•Never cut out the Earth wire.

•The socket must be readily accessible but out of the reach of children.

If in any doubt, please contact your installer.

Your machine conforms to European Directives EEC/73/23 (Low Voltage Directive) and EEC/89/336 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) as modified by Directive EEC/93/68.
