INSTALLATION
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be removed before
using the machine.
You are advised to keep all packing for re-use in case
you move house and the machine has to be transpor-
ted again.
Proceed as follows:
Using a spanner remove
the screw on the right at
the rear of the machine.
Carefully lay the machi-
ne on its back making
sure that the hoses are
not squashed.
Place between machine
and bottom one of the
polystyrene angle pack-
ings.
Remove the polystyrene block from underneath the
machine.
Release the two polythene bags by removing the
adhesive strip.
Carefully remove the right polythene bag (1) by pull-
ing it towards the centre of the machine. Repeat the
operation for the left polythene bag (2).
Set the machine upright and unscrew the two remai-
ning rear screws.
Slide out the 3 plastic spacers and plug the 3 holes
with the 3 plastic plugs which you can find on the
back of the machine.

Positioning
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 suitable existing taps with the
drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with
female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. 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 ex-
isting plumbing must be carried out by a competent
person, or qualified plumber.
Water inlet
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour
coded, blue for cold and red for hot.
Before connecting the
hoses be sure to fit the
mesh filters supplied as
per diagram.
If only a cold water supply is available, connect the
two hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y»
connection piece.
Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be given a separate cold water
supply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single
outlet water heater or a booster pump. A minimum
water pressure of 760 kPa is required for safe opera-
tion 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
1
/
2
ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the
tank.
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water sup-
ply from the hot water cylinder if the height between
the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the cold water
storage cistern (not between the appliance and hot
water cylinder) is at least 2.74m (9ft).
Set the hoses correctly by
loosening the ring nuts.
After positioning the inlet
hoses, be sure to tighten
the ring nuts again to pre-
vent leaks.
