After installation,the appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
Check that the electricity supply to your home has an earthing system.
The socket in your home and the plug on the appliance must be of the same type.
It is generally not advisable to use multiple adapters and/or extension leads.
All Hoover washing machines comply with the safety requirements laid down by the Quality
