Whether new or just transported to a new house,
installation is extremely important for the correct
functioning of your washer-dryer.
Connecting the drain
hose
The drain hose (hooked pipe) is
secured to the rear of the machine
by support clips and may be
routed to right or left as required.
The hook to be used in case the drain
hose ends at a height below 60 cm.
The drain hose should be placed
in a stand pipe with a minimum
internal diameter of 38 mm (1½
inches) or it can be positioned
over a sink or it can be connected
as shown in Fig. A. The height of
stand pipe or sink should be
between 60 and 100 cm (24 and
40 inches). Care must be taken
that the hose is not obstructed,
twisted, submerged or kinked. If
the hose is connected with an
airtight joining, provision should
be made to prevent syphoning.

Electric connection
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.
After removing the appliance
from its packaging, check that it
is intact. If in doubt, contact a
qualified technician immediately.
The inside of the machine is
supported, for transportation, by
four screws on the back panel.
Before using the washer-dryer,
remove the screws, remove the
spacers together with the rubber
tubes attached to them (keeping
all the parts) and use the plastic
plugs provided to fill in the
holes.
Important: Use the cap (provided)
to close the 3 holes which housed
the stop pin, situated in the right-
hand part of the lower back of the
washer-dryer.
Levelling
The washer-dryer must be levelled
appropriatey in order to guarantee
its correct functioning. To level the
appliance, the front feet must be
adjusted; the angle of inclination,
measured according to the
worktop, must not exceed 2°.
When placed on carpet, make sure
the ventilation is not reduced.
The front feet are adjustable.
Connection to the water
mains
Both hot and cold water supplies
are preferable and they should be
between 34.5kN/m²(5lb/in²) and
1034.2kN/m² (150lb/in²) pressure.
The hose having the red end fitting
should be encountered between
the hot supply and the threaded
connection adjacent to the letter
H on the rear of the machine. The
hose having the white end fittings
should be connected between the
cold supply and the threaded
connection adjacent to the letter
C on the rear of the machine.
Remember to insert a sealing
washer-dryer at each connection to
ensure watertight joints. Do not
overtighten the connections by
using tools -hand tight is sufficient
to prevent leaks. It is generally
more convenient to have these
supplies away from the sink taps.
Where no suitable hot water supply
is available or it does not meet
these requirements, both inlet
hoses may be connected to a cold
supply by using two taps etc., or a
«T» junction on the plumbing
however, use of cold water only
will increase programme times.
Note: the maximum temperature
should not exceed 70°C (158°F).

Connect the inlet hose to the
threaded connector on the
machine rear.
