Hotpoint hf6b 351 User Manual

Connect the drain 

hose, without bending 

it, to a draining duct 

or a wall drain situa-

ted between 65 and 

100 cm from the floor;

The drain hose may 

be connected to an 

under-sink trap. Be-

fore connecting the 

drain hose from the 

machine ensure that 

any blanks or remo-

vable 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 under-

water.

 

! 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 pu-

shed down too far, this may cause the machine 

to self -syphon ie. continuously empty as it is 

filling.

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 Tech-

nical 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, repla-

ce 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 ELECTRI-

CIAN.
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 colou-

red 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 moul-

ded 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 ap-

proval. 

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.
