Drainage  Connection

Connect the drain hose,

without kinking it, to a

draining duct or a stand

pipe situated between

65 and 100 cm from the

floor;

The drain hose may be

connected to an under-

sink trap. Before

connecting the drain

hose from the machine

ensure that any blanks

or removable ends have

been taken off the

spigot.

If it is placed over the

edge of a basin or sink

be sure the free end of

the hose should not be

underwater.

 

We advise against the use of hose extensions; in

case of absolute need, the extension must have

the same diameter as the original hose and must

not exceed 150 cm in length.

Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into a

standpipe, that the end does not go down more

than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is pushed down

too far, this may cause the machine to self -

syphon  ie.  continuously  empty  as  it  is  filling.

Electric  connection

Before plugging the appliance into the mains

socket,  make  sure  that:

•

the socket is earthed and in compliance with

the  applicable  law;

•

the socket is able to sustain the appliance's

maximum  power  load  indicated  in  the  Technical

details table 

(on the page 5)

;

•

the supply voltage is included within the values i

ndicated  on  the Technical  details  table

(on the page 5)

;

•

the socket is compatible with the washing

machine's plug. If this is not the case, replace

the socket or the plug.

Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused

plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for

immediate  use.  Before  using  the  appliance  please

read  the  instructions  below.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD  BE CARRIED

OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Replacing  the  fuse:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA

approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used,

and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is

lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement

is  obtained.

Replacement  fuse  covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of

the correct colour as indicated by the coloured

marking or the colour that is embossed in words on

the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained

directly  from  your  nearest  Service  Depot.

Removing the plug:

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug

and you should wish to re-route the mains cable

through  partitions,  units  etc.,  please  ensure  that

either:

the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere re-

wearable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.

or:

the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable

outlet,  controlled  by  a  switch,  (in  compliance  with

BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the

appliance.

Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you

make the pins unusable so that it cannot be

accidentally  inserted  into  a  socket.
