INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Before starting the machine up, the packing must be removed as follows.
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in case the machine is to be transported again.
Using a spanner unscrew and remove the rear right bolt. Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the hoses are not squashed.

Positioning
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 suitable existing taps with the drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. 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
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded, blue for cold and red for hot.
Before connecting the hoses be sure to fit the mesh filters supplied as per diagram.
Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the machine.
Carefully slide out the right polythene bag (1), removing it toward the centre of the machine.
Repeat the operation for the left polythene bag (2), removing it toward the centre of the machine.
Remove the polystyrene base, set the machine upright and unscrew the two remaining rear bolts.

P0002
Slide out the 3 plastic spacers and plug the 3 holes with the 3 plastic plugs which you can find at the back of the machine.
P0003
If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y» connec­tion piece.
Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be given a separate cold water sup­ply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single outlet water heater or a booster pump. A minimum water pres­sure of 7 psi 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.

between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the tank. There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water supply
from the hot water cylinder if the height between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the cold water stor­age cistern (not between the appliance and hot water cylinder) is at least 2.74m (9ft).
Set the hoses correctly by loosening the ring nuts. After positioning the inlet hoses, be sure to tighten the ring nuts again to pre­vent leaks.

Water drainage
If you intend the drain hose from the machine to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and that the plug hole is not blocked.
If the machine is permanently plumbed in, hook the end of the hose into a standpipe installed for the purpose. The standpipe must have an internal diameter of at least 40 mm (1 1/2") in order that there is an air gap between the drain hose and the standpipe. Make sure, that it is designed in such a way, that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.
Warning
The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile car­peting.
Note
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a break­down.
All plumbing and electrical work required to install this appliance must be carried out by competent persons or qualified plumbers or electricians.

Important
Before connecting up 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.
Whether discharging into a sink or a standpipe check that the end of the drain hose is neither too high nor too low. The top of the curve in the hose’s end should be no more than 90 cm (35.4”), and no less than 60cm (23.6”) above floor level.
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. Any necessary adjustment

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.

In the interest of the environment
Washing machines and dishwashers should be connec­ted to the FOUL drainage system, the water will then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before being discharged safely into a river. It is essential that these appliances are not connected to the surface water drainage system as this water is discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause pollution. If you require any further advice please contact your local authority drainage department.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The manufacturer declines any liability should this
safety measure not be observed.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appro­priate plug fitted.
Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13 Amp socket in another part of your home.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth Blue - Neutral Brown - Live If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug, pro­ceed as follows:
GREEN & YELLOW
13 AMP FUSE
13 AMP
BLUE
P0329
BROWN
CORD CLAMP
Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «E» or the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.
Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «N» or coloured black.
Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «L» or coloured red.
The plug moulded on to the lead incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a 13 Amp BS1362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.
The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug.
A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local Tricity Bendix Service Centre. There is a list of these at the end of this instruction book.

This light illuminates when the machine starts working and goes out when the ON/OFF button is released.
3 ON/OFF button
By depressing this button the machine starts operating. When depressing it again, the machine stops.
4 Heavy soil button
By pressing the heavy soil button, the machine will take in cold water only on programmes with a water tempera­ture of 60°C and 95°C. These would normally be hot and cold, or hot fill only. The water is then gradually heated to the required tem­perature. The effect is to improve the overall wash performance, particularly on biological stains such as egg, blood and grass stains, and heavily soiled fabrics, since the longer «cool-soak» phase as the water heats up provides the right conditions for the powder and the water tempera­ture to interact, and achieve the best possible results.
