Installation

EN	! This instruction manual should be kept in a
	safe place for future reference. If the washing
	machine is sold, given away or moved, please
	ensure the manual is kept with the machine,
	so that the new owner may benefit from the
	advice contained within it.
	! Read these instructions carefully: they
	contain vital information relating to the safe
	installation and operation of the appliance.
	! Inside the pack containing this manual, you
	will also find the guarantee and all the details
	necessary for installation.
	Unpacking and levelling
	Unpacking
	1. Once you have removed all the packaging
	from the washing machine, make sure it has
	not been damaged during transportation.
	If it has been damaged, contact the retailer
	and do not proceed any further with the
	installation process.
	2. Remove the 4
	protective screws
	(used during
	transportation) and
	the corresponding
	spacer, located on
	the rear part of the
	appliance (see figure).
	3. Close off the holes
	using the plastic plugs
	supplied in the pack.
	4. Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will
	be needed again if the washing machine is
	moved to another location, to prevent the
	inside of the appliance being damaged.
	! Packaging materials should not be used as
	toys for children.
	Levelling
	1. Place the washing machine on a flat sturdy
	floor, without resting it up against walls,
	cabinets anything else.
	2. If the floor is
	uneven, the front feet
	of the machine may
	be adjusted until it
	reaches a horizontal
	position (the angle of
	inclination must not
	exceed 2 degrees).

!If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise while it is operating, particularly during the spin cycle.

!If it is placed on carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow a sufficient ventilation space underneath the washing machine.

Connecting the electricity and water supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

! Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply, run the water until it is perfectly clear.

1. Connect the inlet hose to the machine by screwing it onto the cold water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top right-hand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure).

2. Connect the inlet hose by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 gas threaded connection (see figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.

! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical data table

(see page 5).

!If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician.

!Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; use the products supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;

Where it connects to the waste water pipe cut end off spigot or remove the blanking cap

The drain hose may be connected to an under-sink trap. Before connecting the drain hose from the machine ensure that any blanks or removable ends have been taken off the spigot.

If it is placed over the edge of a basin or sink be sure the free end of the hose should not be underwater.

! We advise against the use of hose extensions; in case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm in length. Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a standpipe, that the end does not go down more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down too far, this may cause the machine to self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is filling.

Electric connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, make sure that:

•the socket is earthed and in compliance with the applicable law;

•the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s maximum power load indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine.

•the supply voltage is included within the values indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine.

	• the socket is compatible with the washing
			EN
	machine’s plug. If this is not the case, replace
	the socket or the plug.
	Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp
	fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp
	socket for immediate use. Before using the
	appliance please read the instructions below.
	WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
	EARTHED.
	THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD
	BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED
	ELECTRICIAN.
	Replacing the fuse:
	When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA
	approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be
	used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse
	cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a
	replacement is obtained.
	Replacement fuse covers:
	If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must
	be of the correct colour as indicated by
	the coloured marking or the colour that is
	embossed in words on the base of the plug.
	Replacements can be obtained directly from
	your nearest Service Depot.
	Removing the plug:
	If your appliance has a non-rewireable
	moulded plug and you should wish to re-route
	the mains cable through partitions, units etc.,
	please ensure that either:
	the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere
	rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.
	or:
	the mains cable is wired directly into a 13
	amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in
	compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible
	without moving the appliance.
	Disposing of the plug:
	Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself,
	you make the pins unusable so that it cannot
	be accidentally inserted into a socket.
	Instructions for connecting cable to an
	alternative plug:
	Important: the wires in the mains lead are
	coloured in accordance with the following code:
	Green & Yellow	Earth
	Blue	Neutral
	Brown	Live

3

As the colours of the wires in the lead may EN not correspond with the coloured markings

identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked E or or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.

Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or coloured Red.

Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured Black.

If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a

13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board.

If you are in any doubt regarding the electrical supply to your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.

How to connect an alternative plug:

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

BLUE		NEUTRAL (N)
BROWN		LIVE (L)
GREEN & YELLOW		EARTH (E)
GREEN &
YELLOW
BROWN	13 ampere fuse
BLUE	CROSS-BAR
	CORD GRIP

! The power supply cable must only be replaced by an authorised serviceman.

Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected.

Disposing of the appliance:

When disposing of the appliance please remove the plug by cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the plug body and dispose of it as described on the previous page.

!The washing machine should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even where the area is sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to damp, rain and thunderstorms.

!When the washing machine is installed, the mains socket must be within easy reach.

!Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.

!The power supply cable must never be bent or dangerously compressed.
