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 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 and levelling

Unpacking

1. Unpack the washer-dryer.

2. Check whether the washer-dryer 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).

4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if
the washer-dryer 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 washer-dryer 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°.
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 washer-dryer.

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 washer­dryer, screwing it onto
the appliance’s cold
water inlet, situated on
the top right-hand side
on the rear of the ap­pliance (see figure).

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 wa-

ter through. Old taps may seize in the closed
position and thus prevent water reaching the
machine.

Connecting the drain hose

Where it connects to
the waste water pipe
cut end off spigot or

Co nn e ct th e dr ai n
hose, without bending
it, to a draining duct or
a wall drain situated
between 65 and 100
cm from the floor;

• the supply voltage is included within the values
indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on
the machine.

• the socket is compatible with the washer­dryer’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.

GB

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 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;

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 rewi­reable 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

GB

GREEN &
YELLOW

BROWN

BLUE

13 ampere fuse

CROSS-BAR
CORD GRIP

As the colours of the wires in the lead may not
correspond 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 distribution board.
If you are in any doubt regarding 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)

! The power supply cable must only be repla-
ced by an authorised serviceman.

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

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, using the
wash cycle 1.

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 where the
area is sheltered, because it may be very dan­gerous to leave it exposed to damp, 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.
