         Electrical

Any electrical work that is required 

to install this washing machine 

MUST be carried out by a qualified  

 

electrician.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE 

EARTHED

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.
