Installation

GB

! This instruction manual should be kept in a
safe place for future reference. If the Washer­dryer is sold, transferred or moved, make sure
that the instruction manual remains with the
machine so that the new owner is able to fa­miliarise himself/herself with its operation and
features.
! Read these instructions carefully: they con­tain vital information relating to the safe instal­lation and operation of the appliance.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Remove the Washer-dryer from its packaging.

2. Make sure that the Washer-dryer has not
been damaged during the transportation
process. If it has been damaged, contact the
retailer and do not proceed any further with
the installation process.

3. Remove the 4 pro­tective screws (used
during transportation)
and the rubber wa­sher with the cor­responding spacer,
located on the rear
part of the appliance
(see figure).

4. Close off the holes using the plastic plugs
provided.

5. Keep all the parts in a safe place: you will
need them again if the Washer-dryer needs to
be moved to another location.
! Packaging materials should not be used as
toys for children.

Levelling the machine correctly will provide
it with stability, help to avoid vibrations and
excessive noise and prevent it from shifting
while it is operating. If it is placed on carpet or
a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow
a sufficient ventilation space underneath the
Washer-dryer.

Connecting the electricity and
water supplies

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the inlet
hose 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 inlet
hose to the Washer­dryer by screwing it
onto the correspon­ding water inlet of the
appliance, which is
situated on the top
right-hand side of the
rear part of the ap­pliance (see figure).

3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over
or bent.

Levelling

1. Install the Washer-dryer on a flat sturdy flo­or, without resting it up against walls, furniture
cabinets or anything else.

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 in relation to the
worktop, must not
exceed 2°.

! The water pressure at the tap must fall within
the range of values indicated in the Technical
data table (see next page).

! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialised shop or an authorised technician.

! Never use second-hand hoses.

! Use the ones supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

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

Connect the drain
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 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.

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.

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.

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;

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 “Auto Clean” (see “Cleaning the

washing machine”).

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 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.
