Installation

Before installing the machine, ensure that the mains plug and water supply valves are
easily accessible from your chosen machine location.
Make sure there is enough space for the machine. Select a space at least 600mm wide
and 850mm high. Also leave enough space to open the door fully so you can load
and unload it easily.
Keep the area underneath and around the machine free of combustible materials such
as lint, paper, rags, chemicals etc.
All machines are tested with water prior to leaving the factory, so a small amount of
water may be present in the drum and the drain hose.
Flooding may occur if any part of the installation process is not completed correctly.

Electricity Supply

Washing machines are supplied to operate at a voltage of 230-240V, 50 Hz single
phase. Please check that the supply circuit is rated to at least 13A.
The plug is already equipped with a 13A fuse, which is BS 1362 ASTA approved. Any
replacement must be the same rating and specification. If the fuse cover is lost, do not
use the plug until it is replaced.
Electricity can be extremely dangerous. Please take care when connecting your
machine to the electricity supply.
This washing machine must be earthed.
The socket outlet and the plug on the appliance must be of the same type.
Do not use multiple adapters and/or extension leads.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following codes:
Blue
NEUTRAL

Water Supply

This machine should only be connected to a cold-water supply. The cold-water
pressure should be between 0.5 and 8 bar (0.05-0.8 Mpa).
Do not connect the machine to a single outlet instantaneous water heater.
Before connecting the fill hose, check that the water is running from the water supply
tap to be used. Let the water flow from the tap until the water runs clear before
connecting to the machine. The water supply tap should be accessible when the
machine is installed.
The water-stop device protects against water damages
caused by leaks on the fill hose which could develop
due to natural ageing of the hose.
In the water-stop system the leaking water fills the
corrugated hose and activates a stop valve which cuts
off the water supply to the machine.
This fault is shown by a red sector on the window "A".
Would this occur, please refer to your Service Agent.
