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.

3.Select a spin programme and then press the on/off button to start the machine.

Allow the programme to continue for one minute and then switch off the machine via the on/off button. This will remove any water remaining in the machine from factory testing.

4.To check for cold water filling to the machine:

Select a rinse programme and press the on/off button to start the machine. Allow the tumble action to continue until the water has pumped out.

Check that the drain outlet is not leaking or overflowing.

5.Switch off the machine via the on/off button at the end of the cycle.

Installation testing is now complete.

To ensure the drum is thoroughly clean after testing and storage, select programme 1 and run the machine for a complete cycle using only wash detergent and water.

If the machine is not to be used immediately, switch off the mains power supply and remove the plug from the power socket. We also recommend that the water stop taps are turned off.
