Notes on disposal
All packaging materials used are environmentally-friendly and recyclable. Please help dispose of the packaging via environmentally-friendly means.
Your retailer or local council will be able to give you details of current means of disposal.
Appliances that have reached the end of their useful life are not worthless rubbish! Valuable materials can be salvaged from an old appliance via scrap reprocessing.
Note: to ensure safety when disposing of an old washing machine disconnect the mains plug from the socket, cut the mains power cable and destroy this together with the plug. To prevent children shutting themselves in the machine break the door hinges or the door lock.

Connecting the fill hoses
This machine has inlet hoses with 19mm (3/4”) threaded ferrules fitted to the ends to attach between the threaded connector on the appliance and the water supply.
Only use the new hoses 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 hoses.
1.Connect the elbow end of hoses to the back of the machine: red connector (for hot water) to the red threaded inlet, the white connector (for the cold water) to the white threaded inlet.
2.Connect the straight end of the hoses to the stop taps.
If the inlet hose’s connection point is changed, check that the 3/4” threaded ferrule on the inlet hose is firmly attached to the electrovalve connector.
