The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If they are
too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you
will have to purchase new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.
The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device,
which protects against damage caused by water
leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural
ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a red
sector in the window “A”. Should this occur, turn the
water tap off and refer to your Service Centre to
replace the hose.
Important !
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework
or to pipework that has not been used for some time,
run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have collected in the pipes.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in four
ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic
hose guide supplied with the machine
. In this
case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked
when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece
of string or attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch
. This branch must be
above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm
above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height
of not less
than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.

The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated
, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe
must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain
hose.
Floor drain
: the washing machine should be
installed where a floor drain or hole is located
(depending on plumbing regulations). A floor drain is
required to drain away water which may overflow
from the washing machine due to a hose leak or
malfunction.
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the
floor; only the part near the drainage point must be
raised.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece
is available from your local Service Centre.
Electrical connection
Plug the washing machine into a properly earthed 3
pin power point.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
CAUTION !
If the appliance is supplied from a cord extension
set or an electrical portable outlet device, the
cord extension set or electrical portable outlet
device must be positioned so that it is not
subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility
for damage or injury through failure to comply
with the above safety precaution.
IMPORTANT!
If the electrical cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
Manufacturer, Authorised Service Agent or
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.
