Warning:
Ensure that the cold
and hot water connections are
made correctly when installing the
machine to prevent your laundry
coming out hot at the end of the
washing process and wearing out.
•
Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use
a tool when tightening the nuts.
•
Open the taps completely after completing
the hose connection to check for water
leaks at the connection points. If any
leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove
the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after
checking the seal. To prevent water
leakages and damages caused by them,
keep the taps closed when the machine is
not in use.
•
The hose should be attached to a height
of at least 65 cm, and 100 cm at most.
•
In case the hose is elevated after laying it
on the floor level or close to the ground
(less than 65 cm above the ground), water
discharge becomes more difficult and the
laundry may come out excessively wet.
Therefore follow the heights as per the
following figure.
Connecting to the drain
•
The end of the drain hose must be directly
connected to the wastewater drain or to
the washbasin.
Warning:
Flooding will occur if
the hose comes out of its housing
during water discharge. There is
risk of scalding due to high
washing temperatures! To prevent
this and to ensure smooth water
intake and discharge of the
machine, secure the end of the
discharge hose tightly so that it
cannot dislodge easily.
•
To prevent flow of dirty water back into
the machine and to allow for easy
discharge, do not immerse the hose end
into the dirty water or do not push it in the
drain by more than 15 cm. If it is too long,
cut it shorter.
•
The end of the hose should not be bent, it
should not be stepped on and the hose
must not be pinched between the drain
and the machine.
•
If the length of the hose is too short, use it
by adding an original extension hose.
Length of the hose may not be longer
than 3.2 m. To avoid water leakage, the
connection between the extension hose
and the drain hose of the machine must
be properly fitted with an appropriate
clamp so as not to come off and leak.
Rodent guard
(Depends on model)
A rodent guard is not supplied with the
machine. If required, a rodent guard may be
purchased from Defy spares.
Placing the rodent guard on the machine:
To place the rodent guard on the machine,
remove the screw as per the diagram below.
Place the rodent guard in position then
fasten the screw to secure the rodent guard
in place.
