Installation
Drainage Connection
Although you may need to move the hooked end
support along the grey drainage hose, DO NOT
remove it.
Whichever drainage method you use,make sure
that the hooked end support is fixed level to, or
above the ‘Plumbing Indicator Line ’(see Description
page 3).
We recommend one of the following:
Standpipe method:
1. Make sure the standpipe
height is a minimum 500 mm
up to a maximum 1200mm
from the floor.
2. Insert the drainage hose
approximately 100mm into
the standpipe.
Under sink method:
1. Cut off the blocked end
of the under sink
drainage unit,or remove
the blanking plug if
fitted.
2. Fix the hooked end
support a minimum of
800mm from the floor.
3. Use a hose clip (e.g. a
jubilee clip) to securely
attach the grey drainage
hose end to the under
sink drainage unit.
Electrical connections
• 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 appliances
maximum power load indicated in the Technical
Details table (see page 17 ).
• the supply voltage is included within the values
indicated in the Technical Details table (see page 17 ).
• the socket is compatible with the machines plug.
If this is not the case,replace the socket or the
plug,ensuring a 13A fuse is fitted.
The machine should not be installed in an outdoor
environment, not even when the area is sheltered,
because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed
to rain and thunderstorms.
When the machine is installed, the mains socket
must be within easy reach and should be connected
to a suitable electrical supply.
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.
The company denies all liability if and when these
standards are not respected.
Before you start using your machine
The first wash cycle
Once the appliance has been installed and before you
use it for the first time, run a wash cycle without
detergent and no laundry. This will check your
installation,connections and drainage and will
thoroughly clean the interior before you carry out an
actual wash programme on your laundry.
This will take approximately 2 1 / 2 hours to complete.
Run the 95 °White Cotton programme ‘2’, without
laundry and without detergent.
During this cycle check for any leaks from under the
machine. If present ensure all hoses are securely
tightened.
