Installation
. Attach the plastic covers supplied in the User Manual bag into the holes on the rear panel. (P)
CKeep the transportation safety bolts in a safe place to reuse when the washing machine needs to be moved again in the future.
CNever move the product without the transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!
3.4 Connecting water supply
CThe 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.
CIf you are going to use the double waterinlet 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.)
AWARNING: 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.
AWARNING: Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.
. Connect the special hoses supplied with the product to the water inlets on the product. Red hose (left) (max. 90 ºC) is for hot water inlet, blue hose (right) (max. 25
ºC) is for cold water inlet.
AWARNING: 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.
. 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
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.
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.

Connection must comply with national regulations.
Power cable plug must be within easy reach after installation.
If the current value of the fuse or breaker in the house is less than 13 Amps, have a qualified electrician install a 13 Amp fuse.
The voltage specified in the "Technical specifications" section must be equal to your mains voltage.
Do not make connections via extension cables or multi-plugs.

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.

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