Before making any electrical connections, ensure that:
• The power socket is suitable for the maximum power
of the washing machine (fuses in the power circuit
must be 13 amp).
• The supply voltage should be the same as that
indicated in the technical specifications and the
appliance rating plate (located where shown).
• The appliance should be earthed and in compliance
with the applicable law.
• Additional earth cables should not be necessary if the
plug and socket are earthed. If necessary, an additional
earth cable should be attached to the earth terminal on
the back of the washing machine and earthed.
• When installed, the power socket must be within easy
reach.
• The use of adapters, multiple connectors or extension
cables are not recommended.
• The appliance must be connected to a 220-240 volt
50 cycle AC supply by means of a three pin socket,
suitably earthed and protected by a 13 amp fuse.
• Should the fuse need to be replaced, a 13 amp fuse
approved to BS1363/A must be used.
• The plug contains a removable fuse cover that must
be refitted when the fuse is replaced. If the fuse cover
is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until
a replacement cover has been fitted or the plug is
replaced.
• A damaged plug should be cut off as close to the
plug body as possible, the fuse should be removed and
the plug disposed of safely.
