Installation
GB
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 washing machine 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 and levelling
Unpacking
1. Unpack the washing machine.
2. Check whether the washing machine has been
damaged during transport. If this is the case, do
not install it and contact your retailer.
3. Remove the 4
protective screws and
the rubber washer with
the respective spacer,
situated on the rear of
the appliance (see
figure).
4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.
5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if
the washing machine needs to be moved to
another location.
Packaging materials are not children's toys.
Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it
with stability and avoid any vibrations, noise and
shifting during operation. 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
washing machine.
Electric and water connections
Connecting the water inlet hose
1. Insert seal A into the
end of the inlet hose
and screw the latter
onto a cold water tap
with a 3/4 gas threaded
A
mouth (see figure).
Before making the
connection, allow the
water to run freely
until it is perfectly
clear.
2. Connect the other
end of the water inlet
hose to the washing
machine,
screwing it onto the
appliance's cold water
inlet, situated on the
top right-hand side on
the rear of the
appliance
(see figure).
Levelling
1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy
floor, without resting it up against walls, furniture
cabinets or other.
2. If the floor is not
perfectly level, compensate for any
unevenness by
tightening or loosening
the adjustable front
feet (see figure); the
angle of inclination,
measured according to
the worktop, must not
exceed 2°.
2
3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the
hose.
The water pressure at the tap must be within
the values indicated in the Technical details
table (on the page 5);
If the water inlet hose is not long enough,
contact a specialist store or an authorised
serviceman.
Never use hoses that have already been used.
Connecting the drain hose
Connect the drain
hose, without bending
it, to a draining duct or
a wall drain situated
between 65 and 100 cm
65 - 100 cm
from the floor;
alternatively, place it
over the edge of a
basin, sink or tub,
fastening the duct
supplied to the tap
(see figure). 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.
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 (on the page 5);
the supply voltage is included within the values
indicated on the Technical details table
(on the page 5);
the socket is compatible with the washing
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 rewearable 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:
