POSITIONING THE MACHINE
The machine must stand firmly on the floor. Any instability will negatively effect its performance.
To level the machine, loosen the lock nuts on the adjustable feet. Rotate the feet until the machine stands firm and level. Tighten the lock nuts firmly. Never remove the lock nuts and feet from the machine.
Do not place the washing machine outdoors or in an area where the temperature could drop to below freezing. Residual water in the pipes could freeze and damage the machine.
Adequate ventilation is important. Leave a space of 20mm to the left and right of the machine and 100mm at the back. Never place the machine on a carpet. This could prevent air circulation and cause electrical components in the machine to overheat.
Do not place or store anything on top of the machine.
CONNECTING TO THE COLD WATER SUPPLY
The washer should be connected to the mains using a new hose an old hose should not be
The water supply should deliver 8 to 80 litres per minute. Sealing washers are supplied and these should be fitted at either end of the inlet hose.
Secure one end of the inlet hose to the water inlet at the rear of the machine and the other end to a 3/4 inch BSP cold water tap. Tighten both connections. Open the tap and check for leaks.
We recommend that the tap be closed when the machine is not in use.
CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
Draining into a dedicated outlet pipe
∙ The outlet pipe must have an inside diameter of at least 40 mm.
∙ The end of the pipe must be positioned between 600 mm. and 1000 mm. above floor level.
∙ Secure the hooked end of the drain hose into the outlet pipe.
Draining into a sink or bath
∙ The drain hose may be hooked over the edge of a sink or bath in such a way that the end can not be immersed in the
collected waste water.
∙ The outlet end of the hose must be between 600 mm. and 1000 mm. above floor level.
∙ Please note: The outlet hose must be kept free of kinks or restrictions as these will hinder the operation of the machine.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The appliance must be earthed and the manufacturer and seller do not accept responsibility for any damage due to incorrect electrical connection.
The three pin plug, attached to the power cord, must be inserted into a 15 Amp earthed wall socket. Do not connect the machine through a double adaptor. It requires a dedicated power point
If the power cord should ever need replacing, use only a genuine cord ( Type ‘X’) available from the nearest Defy Service Centre.
