Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the
spin. If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it
is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be
necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed
information see the section headed "Servicing".

Set the machine upright and remove the two
remaining bolts from the back.
Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes
into which the bolts were fitted.
Plug the open holes with the plugs which you can
find at the back of the appliance.

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.
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.

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 0.48 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 distance of 5.02m
(16

/

2

ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the

bottom of the water storage tank.
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water

supply, providing there is a minimun height of 2.74
metres (9 ft) between the bottom of the cold water
storage tank and the bottom of the hot water
cylinder.

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

This appliance is designed to be permanently
plumbed into your home's water supply and
drainage system.

The appliance drain hose should hook into a
standpipe, the hook in the drain hose is formed
using the plastic “U-Piece” supplied.

3 pin

Max. 90 cm.(35.4")

Min.60 cm.

(23.6")

P0021

The standpipe should have an internal diameter of
approximately 38mm (see diagram) thus ensuring
there is an air break between the drain hose and
standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the
top of the curve in the hose end is no more than
90cm (35.4'') and no less than 60cm (23.6'') above
floor level. The upright standpipe should have a
minimum length of 30cm (12'') from the bottom of
the elbow to the top of the pipe (see diagram).
Make sure that it is designed in such a way, that the
end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.

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 you intend the drain hose to empty into a sink,
make sure that the sink is empty and the plug hole
is not blocked. Use the plastic “U-Piece” supplied.

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.

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 can be made with a
spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, 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.

Special conditions

If the floor is carpeted with a deep-pile carpet 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.

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.
