result in personal injury or damage to the machine
which may not be covered and void the guarantee.

General Safety

• Never place your machine on a carpet
covered fl oor. Otherwise, lack of airfl ow below
your machine may cause electrical parts
to overheat and cause problems with your
washing machine.

• If the power cable or mains plug is damaged
you must call Authorized Service for repair.

• Check water hoses for wear. Do not use old/
used water inlet hoses. These may cause
stains on your laundry.

• Fit the drain hose into the discharge housing
securely to prevent any water leakage and to
allow machine to discharge water as required.
It is very important that the water intake and
drain hoses are not folded, squeezed, or
broken when the appliance is pushed into
place after it is installed or cleaned.

3. Attach the plastic covers supplied in the User
Manual bag into the holes on the rear panel.

Keep the transportation safety bolts in a safe
place to reuse when the washing machine needs to
be moved again in the future.

Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the

new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.

1. Connect the special hose supplied with the
product to the water inlet on the product.

Ensure that the cold water connection is made

correctly when installing the product.

2. Tighten hose nut by hand. Never use a wrench
when tightening the nut.

Never move the product without the

transportation safety bolts properly fi xed in place!

Connecting water supply

The water supply pressure required to run the
product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1MPa). It is
necessary to have 10 – 80 litres of water fl owing
from the fully open tap in one minute to have your
machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing
valve if water pressure is higher.

Models with a single water inlet should not be
connected to the hot water tap. In such a case the
laundry will get damaged or the product will switch
to protection mode and will not operate.

Installation

08_

3. Open the tap completely after making the
hose connection to check for water leaks at
the connection point. If any leaks occur, turn
off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten
the nut carefully after checking the seal. To
prevent water leakages and damages caused
by them, keep the taps closed when the
machine is not in use.

User manual HJA8501 / HJA8511

Connecting to the drain

• The end of the drain hose must be directly
connected to the wastewater.

Your fl oor will be fl ooded if the hose comes out
of its housing during water discharge. Moreover,
there is risk of scalding due to high washing
temperatures! To prevent such situations and to
ensure smooth water intake and discharge of the
machine, fi x the end of the discharge hose tightly so
that it cannot come out.

• The hose should be attached to a waste pipe

height of at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at most.

• If the hose is too high or too low problems

with water retention and discharge will be
encountered.

Adjusting the feet

In order to ensure that the product operates
silently and vibration-free, it must stand level and
balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by
adjusting the feet. Otherwise, the product may move
and suffer vibration problems

1. Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by hand.

2. Adjust the feet until the product stands level

and balanced.

3. Tighten all lock nuts again by hand.

• To prevent fl owing of dirty water back into the
machine and to allow for easy discharge, do
not push waste hose too far into waste pipe
and ensure an ‘S’ bend is formed with the
hose.

• The end of the hose should not be bent, it
should not be stepped on and the hose must
not be kinked between the drain and the
machine.

• If the hose is too short it may be extended to a
Max. Length of 3.2m. Ensure all joints are tight
to avoid leaks.

Do not use any tools to loosen the lock nuts.

Otherwise, they will get damaged.

Electrical connection

Connect the product to an earthed outlet protected
by a fuse complying with the values in the
“Technical specifi cations” table. Our company shall
not be liable for any damages that will arise when
the product is used without earthing in accordance
with the local regulations.

• Do not make connections via extension cables
or multi-plugs.

Damaged power cables must be replaced by

qualifi ed persons

Electrical requirements

Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make
sure that the voltage and the frequency shown
in the rating label corresponds to your electricity
supply.
We recommend that this appliance be connected to
the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused
socket in a readily accessible position.

This appliance must be earthed

If the fi tted moulded plug is not suitable for your
socket, then the plug should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fi tted.

Important Fitting a different plug

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals on your plug,
proceed as follows:

1. Connect the green - yellow or green (earth)
wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or
with the symbol f or coloured green and yellow
or green.

2. Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal
in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.

3. Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in
the plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red

With the alternative plugs a 13A fuse must be fi tted
either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box.
If in doubt contact a qualifi ed electrician.

Destroy the old plug, which is cut off as a plug with
a bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted
into a socket elsewhere in the house.

The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates
a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced
an ASTA approved BS1362 fuse of the same rating
must be used. Do not forget to refi t the fuse cover.
In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must
not be used until a replacement fuse cover has
been fi tted.
