Installation

! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future refe- GB rence. 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

!This is a separate part of the polystyrene base and should be removed with the base.

!IMPORTANT check when unpacking your machine.

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 bush with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance (see also the installation leaflet).

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°.

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. Connect the supply pipe by screwing it to a cold

water tap using a 3/4 gas

threaded connection (see

figure).

Before performing 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 righthand side 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 wa-

shing machine needs to be moved to another location. ! Packaging materials are not children’s toys.

Levelling

Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if the two front feet have not been adjusted correctly. 1. Install the washing machine

on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls, cabinets or anything else.

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.

!Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water through. Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus prevent water reaching the machine.

!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 undersink 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 indica-

 

GB

ted on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine.

 

• 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 parti-

 

tions, 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 out-

 

let, 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

As the colours of the wires in the lead may not correspond

GB

 

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 distri-

 

 

bution board.

 

 

 

 

If you are in any doubt regarding the electrical supply to

 

 

your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, and before you use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent and no laundry, setting the 60°C programme.

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.

!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.
