INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Before starting the machine up, the packing must be removed as follows.
You are advised to keep all the packaging for
Positioning
Your new washing machine has been designed to be permanently plumbed in to your home’s water supply and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it may be connected to suitable existing taps with the drain hose discharging into a sink.

Using a spanner unscrew and remove the rear right bolt. Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the hoses are not squashed.
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. If this connection is not compatible with the plumbing of the existing installa- tion, a variety of connectors are available from good hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plum- bing must be carried out by a competent person, or qua- lified plumber.

Water inlet
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded, blue for cold and red for hot.
Before connecting the hoses be sure to fit the mesh filters supplied as per diagram.
Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the machine.
Carefully slide out the right polythene bag (1), removing it toward the centre of the machine.
Repeat the operation for the left polythene bag (2), removing it toward the centre of the machine.
If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y» connec- tion piece.

Remove the polystyrene base, set the machine upright and unscrew the two remaining rear bolts.
Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be given a separate cold water sup- ply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single outlet water heater or a booster pump. A minimum water pres- sure of 7 psi is required for safe operation of the appli- ance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appli- ance from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (161/2 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the tank.
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water supply from the hot water cylinder if the height between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the cold water stor- age cistern (not between the appliance and hot water cylinder) is at least 2.74m (9ft).
