Unpacking the product

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

1. Cut carefully around the base of the packaging.

2. Lay the machine on its back and remove the base and the two polystyrene spacers on each side of the machine. We recommend that a second person assist in the lifting and manoeuvring of the machine.

3. Return the machine to the upright position, remove the remainder of the packaging and the central screw in the transit bar.

4. Remove the four retaining screws in the transit bar and pull out the transit bracket.

Dispose of the packaging safely.

Make sure it is out of the reach

of children, it is a potential

source of danger.

40001979Eng.qxd 21/09/2004 17:19 Page 5

5. Take the base panel provided and fit the two self adhesive strips by removing the backing paper on one side and locating the strips on each side of the base panel.

6. Tilt the machine forward and locate the base panel under the front of the machine. Remove the remaining backing paper from the self-adhesive strips and offer up the base panel to the bottom of the cabinet.

7. Take the two plastic fixing clips and fix the base panel to the base of the machine. Bring the machine back to the upright position.

We recommend you keep the transit bracket and

screws to protect the machine for future transit.

The manufacturers will not be responsible for any

damage to the machine caused by not following the

instructions relating to releasing the transit protection.

The user is responsible for all installation costs.

40001979Eng.qxd 21/09/2004 17:19 Page 6

8. Cover the central hole in the rear of the machine with the cap enclosed in the instruction bag.

Choose a location

● After the machine has been installed, ensure that the mains plug and water supply valves are easily accessible.

● Make sure there is enough space for the machine. Select a space at least 600mm wide and 850mm high. Also leave enough space to open the door fully so you can load and unload it easily.

● Keep the area underneath and around the machine free of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals etc.

Installation

Do not plug the

machine in and

switch it on at the mains until the installation

is completed.

40001979Eng.qxd 21/09/2004 17:19 Page 7

Electricity supply

Washing machines are supplied to operate at a voltage of 230V, 50 Hz single phase. Check that the supply circuit is rated to at least 10A.

Electricity can be extremely dangerous.

This washing machine must be earthed.

The socket outlet and the plug on the appliance must be of the same type.

Do not use multiple adapters and/or extension leads.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following codes:

Blue NEUTRAL

Brown LIVE

Green and Yellow EARTH

CE Appliance complies with European Directive 89/336/EEC, 73/23/EEC and subsequent amendments.

Water supply

● The cold water pressure should be between

0.05-0.8 Mpa.

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

● The water supply tap should be accessible when the machine is installed.

● Before connecting the fill hose, check that the water is running from the water supply tap to be used.

You may be

charged for a

service call if a

problem with

your machine is

caused by

incorrect

installation.

If the mains cord on this appliance is damaged, it

must be

replaced by a

special cord

which is ONLY

obtainable from

the GIAS spares

service. It must

be installed by

a competent

person.

40001979Eng.qxd 21/09/2004 17:19 Page 8

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.

Aqua-stop

Certain models will be supplied with special hose that has a double skin and incorporates a water valve (A). If the inner hose bursts the valve will automatically shut off the water supply to prevent flooding. The indicator turns red (B). Should this happen, turn off the water supply immediately and obtain a replacement hose from GIAS Service.

The installation is the same as a conventional hose with the valve end of the aqua-stop hose fitted to the water supply.

Connecting to the cold water supply

40001979Eng.qxd 21/09/2004 17:20 Page 9

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.

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.

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.

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.
