Installation and removal

Whether new or just transported to a new house,

installation is extremely important for the correct

functioning of your washer-dryer.

Connecting the drain

hose

The drain hose (hooked pipe) is

secured to the rear of the machine

by support clips and may be

routed to right or left as required.

The hook to be used in case the drain
hose ends at a height below 60 cm.

The drain hose should be placed

in a stand pipe with a minimum

internal diameter of 38 mm (1½

inches) or it can be positioned

over a sink or it can be connected

as shown in Fig. A. The height of

stand pipe or sink should be

between 60 and 100 cm (24 and

40 inches). Care must be taken

that the hose is not obstructed,

twisted, submerged or kinked. If

the hose is connected with an

airtight joining, provision should

be made to prevent syphoning.

sinks.

Electric connection

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.

After removing the appliance

from its packaging, check that it

is intact. If in doubt, contact a

qualified technician immediately.

The inside of the machine is

supported, for transportation, by

four screws on the back panel.

Before using the washer-dryer,

remove the screws, remove the

spacers together with the rubber

tubes attached to them (keeping

all the parts) and use the plastic

plugs provided to fill in the

holes.

Important: Use the cap (provided)

to close the 3 holes which housed

the stop pin, situated in the right-

hand part of the lower back of the

washer-dryer.

Levelling

The washer-dryer must be levelled

appropriatey in order to guarantee

its correct functioning. To level the

appliance, the front feet must be

adjusted; the angle of inclination,

measured according to the

worktop, must not exceed 2°.

When placed on carpet, make sure

the ventilation is not reduced.

The front feet are adjustable.

Connection to the water

mains

Both hot and cold water supplies

are preferable and they should be

between 34.5kN/m²(5lb/in²) and

1034.2kN/m² (150lb/in²) pressure.

The hose having the red end fitting

should be encountered between

the hot supply and the threaded

connection adjacent to the letter

H on the rear of the machine. The

hose having the white end fittings

should be connected between the

cold supply and the threaded

connection adjacent to the letter

C on the rear of the machine.

Remember to insert a sealing

washer-dryer at each connection to

ensure watertight joints. Do not

overtighten the connections by

using tools -hand tight is sufficient

to prevent leaks. It is generally

more convenient to have these

supplies away from the sink taps.

Where no suitable hot water supply

is available or it does not meet

these requirements, both inlet

hoses may be connected to a cold

supply by using two taps etc., or a

«T» junction on the plumbing

however, use of cold water only

will increase programme times.

Note: the maximum temperature

should not exceed 70°C (158°F).

Connect the inlet hose to the

threaded connector on the

machine rear.
