Note:

it is advisable to turn off the tap after each wash

to isolate the washing machine from the water supply.

For the washing machine to function properly the terminal end of the discharge hose (mouth)
must be at a minimum of 50 cm and a maximum of 85 cm from the ground. 

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

After installation, the appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
If the plug we supply does not fit 
CUT IT OFF AND DESTROY IT!
You can’t use it on other appliances, and the exposed wires could be dangerous if plugged in.

Fuses and plugs
This appliance should be used only on a socket with a minimum rating of 13 Amp.

Our ready-fitted plug is already equipped with a 13 amp fuse which is BS 1362 ASTA
approved. Any replacement should be exactly the same.

If the fuse cover is lost, do not use the plug until it is replaced. A correct replacement fuse
cover (obtainable from your local retailer) must be the same colour as shown or named on
the insert on the base of the plug.

Note: we recommend you keep the transit bracket,
braces and screws to immobilise the machine for future
transit.
The Manufacturers will not be responsible for any
possible damage to the machine caused by not
following the rules relating to releasing the mechanism.
The user is responsible for all costs of installation.

Water connection

The appliance must be connected to the water mains
using new hose-sets.
The old hose-sets should not be reused.
Your machine may either be plumbed in or connected
to existing taps, using a tap adaptor with a 3/4 B.S.P.
threaded end connection. The water supply hoses to
be found inside the drum are terminated in two
different ways. One end which has a 90° elbow is to
be connected to the appliance water connection E
while the straight end is to be connected to the
domestic supply tap. The hose with the white collar
should be connected to the cold tap, and the hose
with the red collar to the hot tap. The appliance is not
suitable for use with mixer taps.
