•REMOVING THE TRANSPORT CLAMPS
Important :
Before using the machine in any way, you must first perform
the following operations.
These comprise removing all the components designed to immobilise
the drum in your machine during transport.
These so-called “releasing” operations are necessary for your machine
to operate correctly and to conform to the prevailing safety standards.
If they are not carried out completely, this could cause severe damage
to your machine while it is operating.
— Remove the washing machine from its plinth
(check that the wedge
supporting the motor is not still inserted in the machine)
(
Diagram
D3)
— Remove the 4 screws
with a screwdriver
(Diagram D4)
— Remove the cross clamp
by removing the 2 screws
(Diagram
D5) using a 10 or 13mm spanner (depending on the model).
(Ensure
that you remove the two plastic braces fixed on the cross clamp at the
same time as the clamp itself).
— Replace the screws
in their initial positions.
Warning:
You must block off the two holes using the hole covers
provided
(supplied in the accessories bag)
(Diagram D6)
— Remove the drum-tank assembly locking wedge
(Diagram D7).
To do this:
- Lift the lid on the machine
- Remove wedge
- Remove wedge
by turning it a quarter turn
- Release the drum doors, locked in the lower position, by pressing
down on both eaves simultaneously.
Warning:
Remove the pipe support collars
You must block off the
holes revealed with the hole covers
supplied in the accessories
bag
(Diagram D8).
Advice:
We would recommend that you keep all the locking
components since these must be refitted if you must subsequently
transport your machine again.
Information:
Your machine has been scrupulously checked before it left the
factory. You may therefore notice a little water still remaining in the
tank or the products box.
•MOVING YOUR MACHINE
•Mounting it on castors
If your machine is equipped with removable castors, you will be able
to move it quite easily.
To mount it on castors, swivel the lever on the bottom of the machine
from the right to the far left
(Diagram D9).
Important:
The machine must not rest on the “front” castors while it is
operating: remember to return the lever to its initial position.
•CONNECTING TO THE COLD WATER SUPPLY
Connect the supply hose
(Diagram D10) :
— At one end to the connection on the back of the machine
— On the other end to a tap fitted with a threaded end 20mm dia. x 27
(3/4 BSP).
If you use a self-piercing tap, the useful aperture must have a minimum
diameter of 6mm.
Water supply:
- Minimum water pressure: 0.1 MPa or 1 bar
- Maximum water pressure: 1 MPa or 10 bars
•Replacing a water supply hose
When replacing the hose, ensure that the hose is tightly fastened and
that there is a seal at both ends.
•DRAINING AWAY THE WASTE WATER
Fit the hose bracket provided inside your machine to the end of the drain
hose and then connect the hose
(Diagram D11) :
— Either, temporarily, over a sink or a bathtub.
— Or permanently to a ventilated U-bend.
If your installation does not have a ventilated U-bend, check that the
connection is not sealed. In fact, to avoid any waste water flowing
back into the machine, you are strongly recommended to leave an air
gap between the machine’s drain hose and the drainpipe.
In any case, the drain hose bracket must be placed at a height of 65 to
90cm higher than the base of the machine.
Important:
Ensure that the drain hose is tied firmly in place with cord to
avoid the bracket coming loose during draining and causing a flood.
The waste water can be drained away to the ground provided that the
drain hose passes through a point 65 to 90cm higher than the base of
the machine
(Diagram D12).
