Connecting the drain hose
 

Connect the drain hose, wi-
thout 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 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 appli-

cable law;

 the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s maximum 

power load indicated on the Technical Data Plate fixed 
on the machine

;

•   the supply voltage is included within the values indica- 
  ted 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 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.
 
Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug:
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor-
dance with the following code:
