•Do not use connection hoses from an old appliance to connect it to the water supply.
•The water pressure must be in the limits (refer to the chapter «Technical data» ta- ble). Make sure that the local water au- thority gives you the average mains pres- sure in your area.
•Make sure that there are no kinks in the water inlet hose and that the water inlet hose is not squashed or entangled.
•Before connecting up the appliance to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.
•Turn the inlet hose on the back of the ap- pliance to the left or the right to suit the in- stallation.
•The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.
•Before opening the water tap, be sure to tighten the ring nut well to prevent any leaks.
Water drainage
•Make sure the end of the drain hose can- not come unhooked when the appliance is emptying. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.
•The drain hose must be placed at a height of not less than 44 cm and not more than 90 cm. Please refer to the Assembly In- struction booklet.
Care and cleaning
•Before maintenance, switch off the appli- ance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
•Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
•The washing powder and additive dis- penser drawer should be cleaned regular- ly.
•Inspected the pump regularly and particu- larly if:
–the appliance does not empty and/or spin
–the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.
•Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle. Always wait until the appli- ance has drained out the water. If you have selected an high temperature wash- ing programme please wait until the water has cooled down.
•Ensure that the pump cover is securely re- tightened to prevent any leaks.
