Installation

! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies the washer dryer to inform the new owner as to its operation and features. ! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital information on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking

1. Unpack the machine.

2. Check whether the washer dryer has been damaged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it and contact your retailer.

Remove the transit fixings

IMPORTANT: Follow these instructions to remove the TWO transit fixings (see Description for location).

Situated one either side of the rear panel, BOTH transit bolts MUST be removed before use. ! Failure to do so may cause damage to your machine. It is important the transit bolt and spacer (see pic) come out intact.

1. Use a crosshead screwdriver to remove the yellow plastic cover.

2. Unscrew the bolt using a 13mm spanner.

●

repeat steps 1 to 5 to remove the second transit

bolt. ! Packaging materials are not children's toys.

Levelling

Your machine will be noisy if the two front feet are not adjusted so that the machine stands firm and level. ! The inclination of the machine, measured on the top, must not exceed 2˚.

1. Move your machine into its final location.

- Take care not to trap or kink the hoses.

2. Turn one or both front feet clockwise until the machine stands firm and level. The spring on each foot will stop them coming loose.

If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for ventilation beneath the machine.

Water connection

Connecting the water inlet hoses. Remember, please use the new hoses supplied, fitted to the machine. Old hoses may cause leaks due to worn out washers or may split due to water pressure.

1. Before making connections to both hot and cold water supplies, allow the water to run freely from the supply tap until it is perfectly clear.

2. Connect the new fill hoses to the water supply taps:

- Red or Grey hose end to Hot

- Blue Hose end to Cold

3. Turn both supply taps on and check for leaks, tighten if necessary.

! Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hoses. ! The water pressure at the tap must be within the

values indicated in the Technical details table (next page).

! If the water inlet hoses are not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

! Always use new hoses. ! Check the water hoses at least once a year, replace

any that are cracked as worn hoses could split under water pressure.

! If you have no hot water supply, a ‘Y’ piece adaptor is available from your local Hotpoint authorised Service Centre or by calling the Genuine Parts & Accessories Hotline (see KEY CONTACTS).

Installation

Drainage connections

We recommend one of the following: ! Although you may need to move the hooked end support along the grey drainage hose, DO NOT remove it. ! Whichever drainage method you use, make sure that the hooked end support is fixed level to, or above the ‘Plumbing Indicator Line’ (see Description).

Standpipe method:

Hooked end support

minimum: 500mm

Under sink method:

1. Make sure the standpipe height is a minimum 500mm from the floor.

2. Insert the drainage hose approximately 100mm into the standpipe.

1. Cut off the blocked end of the under sink drainage unit.

! When the machine is installed, the mains socket must be within easy reach and should be connected to a suitable electrical supply.

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