not be observed.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the 
same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate.
The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted. In the event of 
having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA ap-
proved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.

The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked 
“L“ or coloured red.
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire 
present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.
1WARNING! A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a seri-
ous safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed 
of safely. Green and Yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral

Permanent Connection
In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a 
double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply 
(mains), with a minimum gap of 3mm between the switch contacts and 
of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current 
electrical regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any 
point.
This appliance complies with the requirements laid out in the EEC Di-
rective 76/899.

Connecting to the water supply
Permitted water pressure
The water pressure must be at least 0.5 bar (= 5 N/cm2=0.05MPa) and 
may be a maximum of 10 bar (= 100 N/cm2=1MPa). 
–If more than 10 bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve. 
–If less than 0.5 bar: Disconnect the appliance end of the inlet hose 
from the solenoid inlet valve and remove the flow meter. (In addition 
remove the filter using pointed pliers and take out the rubber gasket 
behind it.) Re-insert the filter.
Water inlet
Attention!
An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
Do not use already employed hoses for water connection. 
This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
1.Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.
2.Connect the hose with the angled 
connection to the machine.
Important!
Do not place the inlet hose down-
wards. Angle the hose to the left 
or right depending on the position 
of your water tap. 
3.Set the hose correctly by loosening 
the ring nut. After positioning the 
inlet hose, be sure to tighten the 
ring nut again to prevent leaks.
 
						

							44
4.Connect the hose to a tap with a 
3/4” thread. 
Always use the hose supplied with 
the appliance. 
Installation should comply with local 
water authority and building regula-
tions’ requirements.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 
MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe op-
eration of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water 
connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate 
the appliance from your cold water storage system. 
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the 
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.
Aqua Control
The inlet hose is provided with a wa-
ter stop device, which protects 
against damage caused by water 
leaks in the hose which could devel-
op due to natural ageing of the 
hose. This fault is shown by a red 
sector in the window „A”. Should this 
occur, turn the water tap off and re-
fer to your Service Centre to replace 
the hose.
 
						

							45
Water Drainage
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the 
drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. The standpipe 
should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see dia-
gram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and 
standpipe.
Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks.
When discharging into a stand-
pipe ensure that the top of the 
curve in the hose end is no more 
than 90 cm (35.4’’) and no less 
than 60 cm (23.6’’) above floor 
level. 
The upright standpipe should 
have a minimum, length of 30 cm 
(12’’) from the bottom of the el-
bow to the top of the pipe (see 
diagram). Make sure that it is de-
signed in such a way that the end 
of the drain hose cannot be cov-
ered with water. 
Longer drain hoses are available 
in lengths of 2.7 and 4 metres 
from your Service Force Centre.
For drainage into an outlet 
spigot: If the outlet spigot has not 
been used before, remove any blank-
ing plug that may be in place. Push 
the drain hose onto the spigot and 
secure with a clip if required. Ensure 
the drain hose is looped upwards to 
prevent waste water from the sink 
entering the washing machine. 
Important! The end of the drainage hose must not be submerged in the 
pumped-out water. Otherwise, the water could be sucked back into the 
appliance.
 
						

							46
Pumping heights of over 1 metre
The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of 
1 metre, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed. 
Important! If pumping height is over 1 metre malfunctions and dam-
age to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1 metre a conversion kit can be obtained. 
Please contact Service Force Centre.
