POSITIONING THE MACHINE
 The machine must stand firmly on the floor. Any instability will
negatively effect its performance.
 To level the machine, loosen the lock nuts on the adjustable
feet. Rotate the feet until the machine stands firm and level.
Tighten the lock nuts firmly. Never remove the lock nuts and
feet from the machine.
 Do not place the washing machine outdoors or in an area where
the temperature could drop to below freezing. Residual water in
the pipes could freeze and damage the machine.
 Adequate ventilation is important. Leave a space of 20mm to
the left and right of the machine and 100mm at the back.
 Never place the machine on a carpet. This could prevent air cir-
culation and cause electrical components in the machine to
overheat.
 Do not place or store anything on top of the machine.
CONNECTING TO THE COLD WATER SUPPLY
 The washer should be connected to the mains using a new hose
an old hose should not be re-used
 The water supply should deliver 8 to 80 litres per minute.
 Sealing washers are supplied and these should be fitted at ei-
ther end of the inlet hose.
 Secure one end of the inlet hose to the water inlet at the rear of
the machine and the other end to a 3/4 inch BSP cold water tap.
 Tighten both connections. Open the tap and check for leaks.
 We recommend that the tap be closed when the machine is not
in use.
CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
Draining into a dedicated outlet pipe
 The outlet pipe must have an inside diameter of at least
40 mm.
 The end of the pipe must be positioned between 600 mm. and
1000 mm. above floor level.
 Secure the hooked end of the drain hose into the outlet pipe.
Draining into a sink or bath
 The drain hose may be hooked over the edge of a sink or bath in
such a way that the end can not be immersed in the
collected waste water.
 The outlet end of the hose must be between 600 mm. and 1000
mm. above floor level.
 Please note: The outlet hose must be kept free of kinks or re-
strictions as these will hinder the operation of the machine.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

any damage due to incorrect electrical connection.
 The three pin plug, attached to the power cord, must be inserted into a 15 Amp earthed wall socket.
 Do not connect the machine through a double adaptor. It requires a dedicated power point
 If the power cord should ever need replacing, use only a genuine cord ( Type ‘X’) available from the
nearest Defy Service Centre.
