14 / EN Washing Machine / User’s Manual
4.4.4 Connecting water supply
CThe water supply pressure required to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1 MPa). It is
necessary to have 10 – 80 liters of water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute to have your
machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is higher.
If you are going to use the double water-inlet product as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must
install the supplied stopper to the hot water valve before operating the product. (Applies for the
products supplied with a blind stopper group.)
ACAUTION: Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. In such a
case the laundry will get damaged or the product will switch to protection mode and will not operate.
CAUTION: Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your
laundry.
Connect the special water supply hoses supplied with the product to the
waterinletsontheproduct.Redhose(left)(max.90ºC)isforhotwater
inlet,bluehose(right)(max.25ºC)isforcoldwaterinlet.
Make sure that the hot and cold water taps are connected correctly when
the product is being installed. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot at
the end of the washing process and wear out.
1 Tighten the nuts of the hose by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts.
2 When hose connection is completed, check whether there is leak problems at the
connection points by opening the taps fully. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and
remove the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. In order to prevent
the water leaks and resultant damages, keep the taps closed when you do not use
the product.

•Attachtheendofthedrainhosedirectlytowastewaterdrain,lavatoryorbathtub.
ACAUTION: Your drain house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water
discharge. Moreover, there is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! In order to prevent
such situations and make sure that the machine performs water intake and discharge processes
without any problem, fix the drain hose securely.
•Connectthedrainhosetoaminimumheightof40cmandamaximumheightof100

Electrical requirements
Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the
frequency shown in the rating label corresponds to your electricity supply.
We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable
switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position.
Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or need replacing at any time, it
must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from
a Authorised Service Agent.
BWARNING: This appliance must be earthed
If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted.
Destroy the old plug, which is cut off as a plug with a bared cord could cause a shock
hazard if inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house.

17 / EN Washing Machine / User’s Manual
The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be
replaced an ASTA approved BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not forget
to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until
a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be
the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from
any good electrical store.
Important
Fitting a different plug
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals on your plug, proceed as follows:
1 Connect the green - yellow or green (earth) wire to the
terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol f or
coloured green and yellow or green.
2 Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the
plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
3 Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug
marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
With the alternative plugs a 13A fuse must be fitted either
in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in doubt
contact a qualified electrician.
