Unpacking the Product

Remove the machine from its packaging close to the final location of the machine.

Step 1. Remove all outer packaging from the
machine. Check there is no damage to the machine
before continuing the installation process.

Step 2. Carefully cut through the hose-retaining clip
at the rear of the machine, taking care not to cut
the hose itself.

Step 3. Remove the 4 retaining screws at the rear
of the machine, as indicated in the image on the
left. Use the blanking plugs provided in the
instruction booklet pack to cover the holes once the
screws have been removed.

Step 4. Tilt the machine forward and apply the
insulation base panel (corrugated plastic) to the

Water Supply

This machine should only be connected to a cold-water supply. The cold-water
pressure should be between 0.5 and 8 bar (0.05-0.8 Mpa).

Do not connect the machine to a single outlet instantaneous water heater.

Before connecting the fill hose, check that the water is running from the water supply
tap to be used. Let the water flow from the tap until the water runs clear before
connecting to the machine. The water supply tap should be accessible when the
machine is installed.

The water-stop device protects against water damages
caused by leaks on the fill hose which could develop
due to natural ageing of the hose.
In the water-stop system the leaking water fills the
corrugated hose and activates a stop valve which cuts
off the water supply to the machine.
This fault is shown by a red sector on the window "A".
Would this occur, please refer to your Service Agent.

Connecting the drainage pipe

This machine must be connected in accordance with the water supply regulations.
Water bylaws prohibit connection to a surface water drain.

Decide which plumbing option suits you best then follow the instructions below:

Option 1 - Waste pipe connection (waste trap)

Fit the hooked end support to the outlet pipe and position it at least 800mm off the
floor.

After removing the blanking plug, or cutting the membrane from the waste system,
securely fix the outlet pipe to the drainage system, using a hose clip.

Secure the hooked end support up to at least 800mm to avoid water being drawn
back into the machine.

Option 2 - Into a standpipe

Ensure that the standpipe is not located near an electrical socket.

Fit the hooked end support to the outlet pipe. Install the hose into the standpipe
ensuring that the pipe is at least 500mm from the floor.

Insert the outlet pipe approximately 100mm into the standpipe.

Step 5. Select the spin programme and press the Start Pause button to start the
machine. If the machine takes longer than one minute to empty check the drain hose
for kinks.

Installation testing is now complete.

Now you have successfully installed the machine we advise that you run the machine
to ensure the drum is thoroughly clean after testing and storage. Select Cottons 90°C
programme and run the machine for a complete cycle using only wash detergent and
water.

This programme will take approximately 2 hours to complete.
