The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too
short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will
have to purchase a new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.
Important!
Before connecting the machine to new pipework or
pipework which has not been used for sometime, run
a reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have been 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 tap so that the bend is at least 60 cm
above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height
of no less
than 60 cm and no 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.
For correct operation of the machine, the drain
hose must remain hooked to the correct support
piece situated on the top of the back side of the
appliance.
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 to an electrical porthole outlet device, the
cord extension set or electrical portable outlet
device must be positioned so it is not subjected
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.
