•
the supply voltage is included within the values
indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed on the
machine.
•
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 instruc-
tions 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 rewireable 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.
Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug:
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow
Earth
Blue
Neutral
Brown
Live
65 - 100 cm
Where it connects to
the waste water pipe
cut end off spigot or
remove the blanking cap
Connecting the drain hose
Connect the drain hose,
without bending it, to a
draining duct or a wall
drain 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 is not 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 in-
ches). 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 (see page 5);
