CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY

▼
The washing machine must not be connected to the electricity supply using
extension leads or multi-plug adapters.
▼
During maintenance the washing machine must be unplugged from the power
supply socket.
▼
Do not plug-in or unplug the machine with wet hands.
▼
If the power cable is damaged in any way, contact the specialised technical
service centre.
▼
Position the appliance so that the power supply cable can be accessed with
ease, enabling it to be disconnected when required.

CONNECTING TO THE WATER SYSTEM

▼ The mains water pressure must be between 0.005 and 1.00 Mpa (0.5-10 atm.).
▼ Before connecting the water fi ll hose, open the valve and allow a quantity of
water to fl ow. This will censure that the supply pipes are free from impurities,
such as sand or rust (this operation is very important when the washing machine
is being connected to a new supply system or if the system has not been used
for a long period of time).
▼ Connect the water fi ll hose to a ∫" threaded cold water outlet
▼ Place the fi lter washer supplied between the hose and the valve and hand
tighten the connection as much as possible (fi g.13).
N.B.: Use the new pipe supplied with the machine and do not re-use the
old one.
▼
Check that the other end of the tube is well fi xed to the washing machine
(fi g.14).
▼
While the machine is operating the water fi ll valve must be fully open.
▼ The water drain hose must be placed at least 60 cm and not more than 90 cm
from the fl oor (fi g.15).
▼ If the drain hose is connected to a fi xed drainage system, the free end must
be inserted in a pipe of minimum internal diameter 40 mm.
▼ The drain hose water connection to the drainage system must not be hermeti-
cally sealed, as this would cause air to accumulate and the water to siphon
out.
▼ If the waste water is to be discharged into a sink or washbasin, insert the
hose in the special racket supplied and hook it over the edge of the sink or
washbasin. Then tie the hose and bracket to a tap or similar. (fi g.16).To avoid
overfl owing, the sink drain must be clear of obstructions and must be able to
empty quickly.
▼ Place the washing machine against the wall, taking care not to squash the
hoses.
