Connecting the drain hose

 

Connect the drain 

hose, without bending 

it, to a draining 

duct or a wall drain 

situated between 65 

and 100 cm from the 

floor;

The drain hose may 

be connected to 

an under-sink trap. 

Before connecting 

the drain hose from 

the machine ensure 

that any blanks or 

removable ends have 

been taken off the 

spigot. 

If it is placed over 

the edge of a basin 

or sink be sure 

the free end of the 

hose should not be 

underwater.

 

! We advise against the use of hose extensions; 

in case of absolute need, the extension must 

have the same diameter as the original hose 

and must not exceed 150 cm in length.

Ensure that if the drain hose is pushed into 

a standpipe, that the end does not go down 

more than 15cms (6 inches). If the hose is 

pushed down too far, this may cause the 

machine to self -syphon ie. continuously empty 

as it is fil ing.

Electric connection
Before plugging the appliance into the mains 

socket, make sure that:
 the socket is earthed and in compliance with 

the applicable law;

 the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s 

maximum power load indicated on the 

Technical Data Plate fixed on the machine;

•  the supply voltage is included within the 

values indicated on the Technical Data Plate 

fixed on the machine.
•  the socket is compatible with the washing 

machine’s plug. If this is not the case, 

replace the socket or the plug.

Your appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp 

fused plug it can be plugged into a 13 amp 

socket for immediate use. Before using the 

appliance please read the instructions below.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE 

EARTHED.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD  

BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED 

ELECTRICIAN.
Replacing the fuse:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA 

approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be 

used, and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse 

cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a 

replacement is obtained.
Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must 

be of the correct colour as indicated by 

the coloured marking or the colour that is 

embossed in words on the base of the plug. 

Replacements can be obtained directly from 

your nearest Service Depot.
Removing the plug:

If your appliance has a non-rewireable 

moulded plug and you should wish to re-route 

the mains cable through partitions, units etc., 

please ensure that either:

the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere 

rewireable plug bearing the BSI mark of 

approval. 

or:

the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 

amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in 

compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible 

without moving the appliance.
Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, 

you make the pins unusable so that it cannot 

be accidentally inserted into a socket.
