Connecting the drain hose
Connect the drain hose, wi-
thout bending it, to a draining
duct or a wall drain situated
between 65 and 100 cm
from the floor;
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 appli-
cable 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-
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.

dance with the following code:
