Connecting the cold water supply

Connect the supply hose

(Diagram

)

- At one end to the connection on the back of the machine

- On the other end to a tap fitted with a threaded end 20mm dia. x

27 (3/4 BSP).

If you use a self-piercing tap, the useful aperture must have a

minimum diameter of 6mm.

Water supply:

- Minimum water pressure: 0.07 MPa or 0.7 bar

- Maximum water pressure: 1 MPa or 10 bars

Draining away the waste water

Fit the hose bracket provided inside your machine to the end of the

drain hose and then connect the hose

(Diagram

)

• Either, temporarily, over a sink or a bathtub.

• Or permanently to a ventilated U-bend.

If your installation does not have a ventilated U-bend, check that the

connection is not sealed. In fact, to avoid any waste water flowing

back into the machine, you are strongly recommended to leave an

air gap between the machine’s drain hose and the drainpipe.

In any case, the drain hose bracket must be placed at a height of 65

to 90cm higher than the base of the machine.



Ensure that the drain hose is tied firmly in place with cord to avoid

the bracket coming loose during draining and causing a flood.

The waste water can be drained away to the ground provided that

the drain hose passes through a point 65 to 90cm higher than the

base of the machine.



For your safety, you must comply with the instructions below.

Electrical supply

(Diagram

)

• Before connecting your machine, you must ensure that your

installation’s electrical characteristics match those of your machine

(see the details provided on the information plate affixed to the back

of the machine).

• The electrical installation must comply with the prevailing standards

and the Electricity Board’s regulations in the country concerned,

particularly as regards Earthing and installation in shower rooms.

We cannot be held responsible for any incident caused by the

machine being incorrectly earthed.



Advice on the electrical installation of your machine

• Do not use an extension lead, adapter or multiple socket.

• Never cut out the Earth wire.

• The socket must be readily accessible but out of the reach of children.

If in any doubt, please contact your installer.



BEFORE USING THE MACHINE IN ANY WAY, YOU MUST FIRST PERFORM THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS.

These comprise removing all the components designed to immobilise the drum in your machine during transport.

These so-called “releasing” operations are necessary for your machine to operate correctly and to conform to the prevailing safety

standards.

If they are not carried out completely, this could cause severe damage to your machine while it is operating.



We would recommend that you keep all the locking components since

these must be refitted if you must subsequently transport your machine

again.

All these components, just like all the components in your machine,

are made of recyclable materials and it is useful to bear this in mind

when you eventually come to dispose of your machine at the end of

its useful life.



Your machine has been scrupulously checked before it left the factory.

You may therefore notice a little water still remaining in the tank or the

products box.

Mounting it on castors:

If your machine is equipped with removable castors, you will be able

to move it quite easily.

To mount it on castors, swivel the lever on the bottom of the

machine from the right to the far left

(Diagram

)



The machine must not rest on the “front” castors while it is

operating: remember to return the lever to its initial position.

Levelling the machine:

Use a spirit level to check that the floor is horizontal: maximum

slope 2°, i.e. a discrepancy of approximately 1cm over the width

and of 1.5cm over the depth of the machine.

Your machine’s surroundings:



If you are installing your machine next to another machine or a unit,

we recommend that you leave a gap between them to allow for

air circulation.



We also strongly recommend that you do NOT:

- Install your machine in a damp, poorly ventilated room.

- Install your machine in an area where it could be subject to water

splashes.

- Install your machine on a carpeted floor.

If you cannot avoid doing this, please take every precaution to avoid

blocking air circulation at the bottom of the machine in order to

ensure that the internal components are well ventilated.

Your machine conforms to European Directives EEC/73/23 (Low

Voltage Directive) and EEC/89/336 (Electromagnetic Compatibility)

as modified by Directive EEC/93/68.



On any new installation (following a move or resale, etc.), the

machine must be connected using new hoses. The old hoses must

not be reused.

What is the difference in usage between a washer-dryer and a separate washing machine and dryer? Verified

The biggest advantage of a washer-dryer is that it takes less space. However, a separate dryer will be able to dry more than a washer-dryer. A washer-dryer also uses relatively more energy and requires more time.

This was helpful (1161) Read more

Can I stack my dryer and washing machine? Verified

In general it is possible to directly stack a dryer and washing machine directly on top of each other. This only works with front loading models. However, it is advisable to use a fitting accessory to do so. This will prevent the machines from vibrating and falling off and also prevents damage to the bottom machine.

This was helpful (1160) Read more

Can I connect a washing machine to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a washing machine, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the washing machine is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord can handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.
