Connecting the fill hose
This machine has an inlet hose with a 19mm (3/4”) threaded ferrule fitted to the
end to attach between the threaded connector on the appliance and the water
supply.
Only use the new hose supplied to connect the machine and ensure that the
sealing washer is in place inside the hose connector.
Do not re-use old hoses which are attached to existing installations.
Do not over-tighten the connection. Hand tight is sufficient.
Do not trap or kink the hose.
1. Connect the elbow end of the hose to the back
of the machine.
2. Connect the straight end of the hose to the
stop taps.
Acqua-stop (fitted to certain models)
The fill hose supplied with this machine has a
double skin and incorporates a water valve (A). If
the inner hose bursts the valve will automatically
shut off the water supply to prevent flooding. The
indicator turns red (B).
Should this happen, turn off the water supply
immediately and have a new fill hose fitted by
Hoover Service.

To ensure the drum is thoroughly clean after testing and storage, select
programme 2 and run the machine for a complete cycle using only wash
detergent and water.
If the machine is not to be used immediately, switch off the mains power supply
and remove the plug from the power socket. We also recommend that the water
stop taps are turned off.
Note: it is advisable to isolate the washing machine
from the water and electricity supplies after each wash.
Electricity supply and safety advice
Washing machines are supplied to operate at a voltage of 230V, 50 Hz single-
phase. Check that the conductor is powerful enough to supply at least 3.0 kW,
then connect the plug to an earthed socket.
Electricity can be extremely dangerous. This washing machine must be earthed.
The socket outlet and the plug on the appliance must be of the same type.
It is not advisable to use multiple adapters and/or extension leads.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following codes:
Blue – NEUTRAL
Brown – LIVE
Green & Yellow – EARTH
If the mains cord on this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a
special cord which is only available from the Hoover spares service,
GIAS Service or an authorised Hoover dealer.
