Connecting the drain hose

65 - 100 cm

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 supply voltage is included within the values

GB

indicated on the Technical details table

 

(see page 5);

 

 

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 instruc-

 

tions below.

 

Where it connects to the waste water pipe cut end off spigot or remove the blanking cap

The drain hose may be connected to an under- sink trap. Before connec- ting the drain hose from the machine ensure that any blanks or removable ends have been taken off the spigot.

If it is place over the edge of a basin or sink be sure the free end of the hose should not be underwater.

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 re-wearable

plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.

!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 standpi- pe, 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 in the Technical details table (see page 5);

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.

Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug: Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
