Unpacking the Product

Remove the machine from its packaging close to the ﬁnal location of the machine.

Step 1. Remove all outer packaging from the

machine. Check there is no damage to the machine

before continuing the installation process.

Step 2. Carefully cut through the hose-retaining clip

at the rear of the machine, taking care not to cut

the hose itself.

Step 3. Remove the 4 retaining screws at the rear

of the machine, as indicated in the image on the

left. Use the blanking plugs provided in the

instruction booklet pack to cover the holes once the

screws have been removed.

Step 4. Tilt the machine forward and apply the

insulation base panel (corrugated plastic) to the

base of the machine using the self-adhesive strips.

All packaging materials used are environmentally friendly and recyclable. Please help

dispose of the packaging via environmentally friendly means. Your local council will be

able to give you details of current means of disposal.

Installation

Before installing the machine, ensure that the mains plug and water supply valves are

easily accessible from your chosen machine location.

Make sure there is enough space for the machine. Select a space at least 600mm wide

and 850mm high. Also leave enough space to open the door fully so you can load

and unload it easily.

Keep the area underneath and around the machine free of combustible materials such

as lint, paper, rags, chemicals etc.

All machines are tested with water prior to leaving the factory, so a small amount of

water may be present in the drum and the drain hose.

Flooding may occur if any part of the installation process is not completed correctly.

Electricity Supply

Washing machines are supplied to operate at a voltage of 230-240V, 50 Hz single

phase. Please check that the supply circuit is rated to at least 13A.

The plug is already equipped with a 13A fuse, which is BS 1362 ASTA approved. Any

replacement must be the same rating and speciﬁcation. If the fuse cover is lost, do not

use the plug until it is replaced.

Electricity can be extremely dangerous. Please take care when connecting your

machine to the electricity supply.

This washing machine must be earthed.

The socket outlet and the plug on the appliance must be of the same type.

Do not 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 and Yellow EARTH

Appliance complies with European Directive 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC

replaced by 2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC and subsequent amendments.

Water Supply

This machine should only be connected to a cold-water supply. The cold-water

pressure should be between 0.5 and 8 bar (0.05-0.8 Mpa).

Do not connect the machine to a single outlet instantaneous water heater.

Before connecting the ﬁll hose, check that the water is running from the water supply

tap to be used. Let the water ﬂow from the tap until the water runs clear before

connecting to the machine. The water supply tap should be accessible when the

machine is installed.

Connecting the Cold Water

Supply

Only one hose is required to install this machine to a cold water supply. Cold ﬁll is an

energy efﬁcient system. Only the water required to wash the laundry is heated. There

is no loss of heat in the pipeline from the hot water tank or the boiler.

If your previous machine installation was hot and cold ﬁll ensure that the hot tap is

ﬁrmly closed to prevent leakage.

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 washers

are in place inside the hose connectors.

Do not re-use old hoses that are attached to existing installations.

Do not over-tighten the connections. Hand tight is sufﬁcient.

Do not trap or kink the hose.

Step 1. Connect the elbow end of the hose

provided to the threaded inlet on the back of the

machine.

The grey pipe needs to connect to the white

threaded inlet on the machine.

Step 2. Hand tighten the connector.

Step 3. Connect the straight ends of the pipes to

the water supply; ensure that there are no kinks.

Step 4. Turn on the water supply and check there

are no leaks. If there is a leak, turn off the water

supply, disconnect the hose and check the sealing

washers are in place. Reﬁt the hose and turn on

the water supply.
