Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
hints:

●

Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).

●

The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.

●

With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.

●

Measure out detergent according to the water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed

before using the appliance.
Keep all packaging away from children.

You are advised to keep all the transit bolts for re-use
in case the machine is to be transported again.

After removing all the packaging, with assistance
carefully lay machine on it’s back to remove the
polystyrene base from the bottom.

Remove the power supply cable and the draining hose
from the hose holders on the rear of the appliance.

With the spanner provided unscrew and remove the
central rear bolt A.

Unscrew and remove the two large rear bolts B and
the six smaller bolts C.

Remove the bracket D, refit the six smaller bolts C and
slide out the relevant plastic spacer E.

Open the porthole and remove the polystyrene block
fitted with the adhesive tape on the door seal.

Fill the smaller upper hole and the two large ones with
the corresponding plastic plug caps supplied in the bag
containing the instruction booklet.

Connect the water inlet hose as described under the
paragraph “Water inlet”.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is
not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the
machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen
units.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials
under the machine to compensate for any unevenness
in the floor.

If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft
material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to
prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base
should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of
the machine.

Warning

The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile

carpeting.

Installation on a Suspended
Floor

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible
to vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend
you place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm
thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor
boards with screws. If possible install the appliance in
one of the corners of the room, where the floor is
more stable.

Note

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.

Plumbing In

Your new washing machine has been designed to be
permanently plumbed in to your home’s water supply
and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it
may be connected to a suitable existing tap with the
drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has an inlet hose, with female 3/4” BSP
thread connector. If this connection is not compatible
with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety
of connectors are available from good hardware stores
and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic
plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing
must be carried out by a competent person, or
qualified plumber.

Water inlet

An inlet hose is supplied and can been found inside the
machine drum.

Do not use the hose from your previous
machine to connect to the water supply.

1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose .

2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to the
machine.

Important!
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle

the hose to the left or right depending on the
position of your water tap.

3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut.
After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten
the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread.
Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.

Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations’ requirements.

The appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.

A minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar is required for
safe operation of the appliance.

If you cannot make the cold water connection direct
from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the
appliance from your cold water storage system.

There should be a minimum verticale distance of 5.02m
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom
of the water storage tank.

Water drainage

This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed
into your home's drainage system using one of the
following methods.

1. Into a drainage standpipe.

Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using
the “U” piece” supplied.

Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should
have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus
ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose
and standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top
of the standpipe is no more than 90cm (35.4'') and no
less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level.

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is
available from your local Service Force Centre.
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of
18mm.

If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do
not require the “U” piece”. Just push the hose firmly
into the standpipe.

2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.

If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove
any blanking plug that may be in place.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a
clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain
hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink
entering the washing machine.

3 pin

Important

Before connecting the machine to new pipework or to
pipework that has not been used for some time, run off
a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris
that may have collected in the pipes.

Levelling

Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the
feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate
a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and
stable.

If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, (see note on
positioning), noise and displacement of the machine
during operation.

Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a
wooden floor.

Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,
always place the machine on a solid floor.
