Installation
EN |
! This instruction manual should be kept in a safe place for |
|
future reference. If the washer dryer is sold, given away or |
||
|
||
|
moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, |
|
|
so that the new owner may benefit from the advice |
|
|
contained within it. |
|
|
! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital |
|
|
information relating to the safe installation and operation of |
|
|
the appliance. |
|
|
! Inside the pack containing this manual, you will also find |
|
|
the guarantee and all the details necessary for installation. |
|
|
Unpacking and levelling |
|
|
Unpacking |
|
|
1. Once you have removed all the packaging from the |
|
|
washer dryer, make sure it has not been damaged during |
|
|
transportation. |
|
|
If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not |
|
|
proceed any further with the installation process. |
|
|
2. Remove the 4 protective |
|
|
screws (used during |
|
|
transportation) and the |
|
|
corresponding spacer, |
|
|
located on the rear part of |
|
|
the appliance (see figure). |
3.Close off the holes using the plastic plugs supplied in the pack.
4.Keep all the parts in a safe place; they will be needed again if the washer dryer is moved to another location, to prevent the inside of the appliance being damaged.
! Packaging materials should not be used as toys for children.
Levelling
1. Place the washer dryer on a flat sturdy floor, without resting it up against walls or cabinets.
2. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the machine may be adjusted until
it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees).
!If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise while it is operating, particularly during the spin cycle.
!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
! Before connecting the inlet hose to the water supply, run the water until it is perfectly clear.
1. Connect the inlet hose to the machine by screwing it onto the cold water inlet of the appliance, which is situated on the top righthand side of the rear part of the appliance (see figure).
2. Connect the inlet hose by screwing it to a cold water tap using a 3/4 gas threaded connection (see figure).
3. Make sure that the hose is not folded over or bent.
!The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see page 5).
!If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialised shop or an authorised technician.
!Never use second-hand or old inlet hoses; use the products supplied with the machine.

Connecting the drain hose
65 - 100 cm |
Connect the drain hose, without bending it, to a draining duct or a wall drain situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor;
Where it connects to the waste water pipe cut end off spigot or remove the blanking cap
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 in the Technical details table (see page 5);
• the supply voltage is included within the values indica- |
|
|
EN |
||
ted 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.
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.

!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.
!The power supply cable must only be replaced by an authorised serviceman.
