Connecting the drain hose

 

Connect the drain 

hose, without 

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 applicable 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 indicated 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 

rewireable 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.
