IKEA FWM7 Washer User Manual


 
Never use the appliance if the power
supply cable, the control panel, the work-
ing surface or the base is damaged so
that the inside of the appliance is accessi-
ble.
Water inlet
This appliance must be connected to a
cold water supply.
Do not use connection hoses from an old
appliance to connect it to the water sup-
ply.
The water pressure must be in the limits
(refer to the chapter «Technical data» ta-
ble). Make sure that the local water au-
thority gives you the average mains pres-
sure in your area.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the
water inlet hose and that the water inlet
hose is not squashed or entangled.
Before connecting up the appliance 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.
Turn the inlet hose on the back of the ap-
pliance to the left or the right to suit the
installation.
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.
Before opening the water tap, be sure to
tighten the ring nut well to prevent any
leaks.
Water drainage
Make sure the end of the drain hose can-
not come unhooked when the appliance
is emptying. This could be done by tying
it to the tap with a piece of string or at-
taching it to the wall.
The drain hose must be placed at a
height of not less than 44 cm and not
more than 90 cm. Please refer to the As-
sembly Instruction booklet.
Care and cleaning
Before maintenance, switch off the appli-
ance and disconnect the mains plug from
the mains socket.
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appli-
ance with soap and water only, and then
dry thoroughly.
The washing powder and additive dis-
penser drawer should be cleaned regu-
larly.
Inspected the pump regularly and partic-
ularly if:
the appliance does not empty and/or
spin
the appliance makes an unusual noise
during draining due to objects such as
safety pins, coins etc. blocking the
pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a
wash cycle. Always wait until the appli-
ance has drained out the water. If you
have selected an high temperature wash-
ing programme please wait until the wa-
ter has cooled down.
Ensure that the pump cover is securely re-
tightened to prevent any leaks.
