Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose,
without 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 connec-
ting the drain hose from
the machine ensure that
any blanks or removable
ends have been taken off
the spigot.

If it is place 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 in-
ches). 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 i
ndicated on the Technical details table
(see page 5);

• 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 instruc-
tions below.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRI-
ED 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 re-wearable
plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.
or:
the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable out-
let, 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 inser-
ted into a socket.
