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 place 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 in the Technical details table (see page 5);

	• the supply voltage is included within the	GB
	values indicated on the Technical details ta-
	ble (see page 5);

•the socket is compatible with the washing machine’s plug. If this is not the case, re-

place 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 re-wearable 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 GB not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proce-

ed 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 about 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

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 above.

!The Washer-dryer should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even when the area is sheltered, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms.

!When the Washer-dryer 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.

! 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.

		Mounting the wooden panel onto the door
		and inserting the machine into cabinets:
		In the case where the machine must be
		shipped for final installation after the
		wooden panel has been mounted, we sug-
		gest leaving it in its original packaging. The
		packaging was designed to make it pos-
		sible to mount the wooden panel onto the
		machine without removing it completely
		(see figures below).
		The wooden panel that covers the face
		of the machine must not be less than 13
		mm in thickness and can be hinged on
		either the right or left. For the sake of
		practicality when using the machine, we
		recommend that the panel be hinged on
		the same side as the door for the machine
		itself - the left.
