40003031.qxd 04/05/2005 10:15 Page 7
Connecting to the cold water
supply
Only one hose is required to install this machine to a cold
water supply.
Cold fill is an energy efficient system. Only the water required
to wash the laundry is heated. There is no loss of heat in the
pipeline from the hot water tank or the boiler.
If your previous machine installation was hot and cold fill
ensure that the hot tap is firmly closed to prevent leakage.
This machine has an inlet hose with a 19mm (3/4") threaded
ferrule fitted to the end, to attach between the threaded
connector on the appliance and the water supply.
Only use the new hose supplied to connect the machine and
ensure that the sealing washers are in place inside the hose
connectors.
Do not re-use old hoses which are attached to existing
installations.
Do not over-tighten the connections. Hand tight is sufficient.
Do not trap or kink the hose.
1. Connect the elbow end of the hose provided to the
threaded inlet on the back of the machine.
Grey pipe to the white threaded inlet on the machine.
2. Hand tighten the connector.
3. Connect the straight ends of the pipes to the water
supply; ensure that there are no kinks.
4. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks. If there is a
leak, turn off the water supply, disconnect the hose and
check the sealing washers are in place. Refit the hose and
turn on the water supply.

This Appliance
must be
connected to a
COLD WATER
supply only.
40003031.qxd 04/05/2005 10:15 Page 8
Connection of the machine to the drain
This machine must be connected in accordance with the water supply regulations. Water byelaws
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. Position 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 (minimum diameter 38mm) 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.
9
All machines are tested with water prior to leaving the factory so a small
amount of water may remain in the drum and drain hose.
Flooding could occur if any part of the installation is not completed correctly.

Moving the machine into
position
Your machine is heavy so care must be taken when moving it.
We recommend that two people move the machine to avoid
strain and possible injury.
● Take care not to damage flooring when moving the
machine.
● When moving the machine to its final position take care
not to kink or damage the hose at the back of the
machine.
Adjusting the feet
Once the machine is in place the feet should be adjusted to
ensure that the machine is level. If the machine is not level it
may become noisy or move.
Adjust the feet on the front corners of the machine until the
machine is firm and level.
When the machine is firm and level, tighten the locking nuts
on the two feet.
10
Do not drag or lift the
machine by its door.
