case the machine is to be transported again. 
●After removing all the packaging, with assistance
carefully lay machine on it’s back to remove the
polystyrene base from the bottom.
●Remove the power supply cable and the draining hose
from the hose holders on the rear of the appliance
●With a suitable spanner unscrew and remove the

●Fill the smaller upper hole and the two large ones with
the corresponding plastic plug caps supplied in the
bag containing the instruction booklet.
Important!
All the different plug caps are supplied with the
appliance in the plastic bag containing the instruction
booklet.
●Connect the water inlet hose as described under the
paragraph “Water inlet”.
Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not
impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does
not touch the wall or other kitchen units.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the
machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
Your new washing machine has been designed to be
permanently plumbed in to your home’s water supply
and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it
may be connected to a suitable existing tap with the
drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has an inlet hose, with female 3/4” BSP
thread connector. If this connection is not compatible
with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety
of connectors are available from good hardware stores
and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic
plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing
must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified
plumber.
Installation on a Suspended Floor
Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you
place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick
under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams
with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of
the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

Water inlet
An inlet hose is supplied and can been found inside the
machine drum.
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to
connect to the 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 downwards. 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.
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 regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be connected to a cold water
supply. 
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) is
required for safe operation 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.


Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed
into your homes drainage system using one of the
following methods.
1.  Into a drainage standpipe.
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using
the “U” piece” supplied.
Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should
have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus
ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose
and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of
the standpipe is no more than 90cm (35.4) and no less
than 60cm (23.6) above floor level.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is
available from your local Service Force Centre. 
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of
18mm.





	


	




 


 
						

							24 If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do not
require the “U” piece”. Just push the hose firmly into
the standpipe.
2.  Onto a sink outlet spigot.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove
any blanking plug that may be in place.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a
clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain
hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink
entering the washing machine.
Important
Before connecting the machine 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.







Levelling
Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the
feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a
self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and
stable (check diagonally).
If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a
wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,
always place the machine on a solid floor.
Special conditions
If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft
material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to
prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base should
protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of the
machine.
Warning
The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile
carpeting.
Note
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
In the interest of the environment
Washing machines and dishwashers should be
connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will
then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before
being discharged safely into a river.
It is essential that these appliances are not connected to
the surface water drainage system as this water is
discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause
pollution.
 
						

							25 25 If you require any further advice please contact your
local water authority.
Electrical connection
Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability should
this safety measure not be observed.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance’s
rating plate. The rating plate is located at the top of the
rim of the open door.
The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted.
In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug
supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved (BS1363/A) fuse
must be used.

Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason,
proceed as described below.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected
to the terminal marked with the letter «E» or by the
earth symbol  or coloured green and yellow.
The wire coloured blue must be connected to the
terminal marked «N» or coloured black.
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.
WARNING:
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket  is
a serious safety (shock) hazard.
Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of
safely. Should the appliance power supply
cable neeed to be replaced, this must be carried
out by our Service Force Centre.
Note
When the appliance is installed the power supply cable
must be accessible.
Permanent connection
In the case of 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.
