Connecting the drain hose
Connect the drain
hose, without ben-
ding 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 ensu-
re that any blanks
or removable ends
have been taken off
the spigot.
If it is place 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 exten-
sions; in case of absolute need, the exten-
sion 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 applian-
ce’s maximum power load indicated in the
Technical details table (see page 5);
65 - 100 cm
Where it connects to
the waste water pipe
cut end off spigot or
remove the blanking cap
the supply voltage is included within the
values indicated on the Technical details ta-
ble (see page 5);
the socket is compatible with the washing
machine’s plug. If this is not the case, re-
place 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 EAR-
THED.
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 moul-
ded 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
re-wearable 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.
