Solution

Water Inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with 3/4” BSP thread.

Use the hose supplied with the washing machine.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.

Loosen the ring nut to angle the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap. Do not place the inlet hose downwards. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

Water Drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide.

In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine will be emptied. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink, drainpipe branch.

This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink entering the appliance.

Directly into a drainpipe, at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.

The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drainpipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.

The drain hose must not be twisted or curled. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised.

For the correct functioning of the machine, the drain hose must remain hooked on the proper support piece situated on the top part of back side of the appliance.

• After having installed the appliance, check that it is not standing on the inlet and drain hose and the worktop is not pressing the electrical supply cable.
• Always be sure, that there is no water leakage from hoses and their connections after installation.
