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
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
applicable law;
• the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s maximum
power load indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed
on the machine;
• 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.
