WASHING MACHINE

IWME 147

Instructions for use

Installation

! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future

reference. Should the appliance be sold, transferred or

moved, make sure the instruction manual accompanies

the washing machine to inform the new owner as to its

operation and features.

! Read these instructions carefully: they contain vital infor-

mation on installation, use and safety.

Unpacking and levelling

Unpacking

1. Unpack the washing machine.

2. Check whether the washing machine has been dama-

ged during transport. If this is the case, do not install it

and contact your retailer.

3. Remove the 4 protective

screws and the rubber bush

with the respective spacer,

situated on the rear of the

appliance (see also the

installation leaflet).

NB:The plastic spacers

may fall down inside the

machine once the bolt has

been removed, and will not

interfere with the operation

of the machine.

4. Seal the gaps using the plastic plugs provided.

5. Keep all the parts: you will need them again if the wa-

shing machine needs to be moved to another location.

! Packaging materials are not children’s toys.

Levelling

Your machine may make a considerable amount of noise if the

two front feet have not been adjusted correctly.

1. Install the washing machine on a flat sturdy floor,

without resting it up against walls, furniture cabinets or

other.

2. If the floor is not per-

fectly level, compensate

for any unevenness by

tightening or loosening

the adjustable front feet

(see figure); the angle

of inclination, measured

according to the worktop,

must not exceed 2°.

Levelling your appliance correctly will provide it with sta-

bility and avoid any vibrations, noise and shifting during

operation. If it is placed on a fitted or loose carpet, adjust

the feet in such a way as to allow enough room for venti-

lation beneath the washing machine.

Electric and water connections

Connecting the water inlet hose

1. Connect the supply

pipe by screwing it to a

cold water tap using a ¾

gas threaded connection

(see figure).

Before performing the

connection, allow the

water to run freely until it is

perfectly clear.

2. Connect the other end of

the water inlet hose to the

washing machine,

screwing it onto the ap-

pliance’s cold water inlet,

situated on the top right-

hand side on the rear of the

appliance (see figure).

3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.

! The water pressure at the tap must be within the values

indicated in the Technical details table

(on the page 5).

! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a

specialist store or an authorised serviceman.

! Ensure that the supply taps are allowing water throu-

gh. Old taps may seize in the closed position and thus

prevent water reaching the machine.

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose,

without bending it, to a

draining duct or a wall drain

situated between 65 and

100 cm from the floor;

The drain hose may be

connected to an under-sink

trap. Before connecting the

drain hose from the machine

ensure that any blanks or

removable 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 underwater.

! 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 pushed down too far, this may cause the machi-

ne 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 appli-

cable law;

• the socket is able to sustain the appliance’s maximum

power load indicated in the Technical details table (see

page 5);

• the supply voltage is included within the values indica-

ted 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, replace 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 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.

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the

correct colour as indicated by the coloured 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 moulded plug and

you should wish to re-route the mains cable through parti-

tions, units etc., please ensure that either:

the plug is replaced by a fused 13 ampere rewireable plug

bearing the BSI mark of approval.

or:

the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable out-

let, 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.

Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative plug:

Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following code:

Green & Yellow Earth

Blue Neutral

Brown Live

65 - 100 cm

Where it connects to

the waste water pipe

cut end off spigot or

remove the blanking cap

The first wash cycle

Once the appliance has been installed, and before you

use it for the first time, run a wash cycle with detergent

and no laundry, setting the 90°C programme without a

pre-wash cycle.

As the colours of the wires in the lead may not correspond

with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your

plug, proceed as follows:

Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked E or

or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.

Connect Brown wire to terminal marked L or coloured

Red.

Connect Blue wire to terminal marked N or coloured Black.

If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a

13 amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distri-

bution board.

If you are in any doubt regarding the electrical supply to

your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.

How to connect an alternative plug:

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance

with the following code:

BLUE NEUTRAL (N)

BROWN LIVE (L)

GREEN & YELLOW EARTH (E)

Disposing of the appliance:

When disposing of the appliance please remove the plug by

cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the plug body

and dispose of it as described above.

! The washing machine should not be installed in an ou-

tdoor environment, not even where the area is sheltered,

because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to

damp, rain and thunderstorms.

! When the washing machine is installed, the mains socket

must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extensions or multiple sockets.

! The power supply cable must never be bent or dange-

rously compressed.

! The power supply cable must only be replaced by an

authorised serviceman.

Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these

norms are not respected.

Instructions for the fitter

Mounting the wooden panel onto the door and in-

serting the machine into cabinets:

In the case where the machine must be shipped for final

installation after the wooden panel has been mounted, we

suggest leaving it in its original packaging. The packaging

was designed to make it possible to mount the wooden

panel onto the machine without removing it completely (see

figures below).

The wooden panel that covers the face of the machine must

not be less than 18 mm in thickness and can be hinged on

either the right or left. For the sake of practicality when using

the machine, we recommend that the panel be hinged on

the same side as the door for the machine itself - the left.

ning the hole marked with an arrow in fig. 1 so that it is on the

inner side of the front panel. Fit a spacer (fig. 4/B) between

the surfaces using type C screws.

- Fit the magnet plate at the top of the opposite side, using

type B screws to fix two spacers (fig. 4/B) between the plate

and the surface.

Tur seite

Using the Drilling Template.

- To trace the positions of the holes on the left-hand side of

the panel, align the drilling template to the top left side of the

panel using the lines traced on the extremities as a referen-

ce.

- To trace the positions of the holes on the right-hand side of

the panel, align the drilling template to the top right side of

the panel.

- Use an appropriately sized router to mill the holes for the

two hinges, the rubber plug and the magnet.

Mounding the Parts onto the Wooden Panel (Door).

- Insert the hinges into the holes (the movable part of the

hinge must be positioned facing away from the panel) and

fasten them with the 4 type A screws.

- Insert the magnet into the top hole on the opposite side of

the hinges and fasten it with the two type B screws.

- Insert the rubber plug into the bottom hole.

The panel is now ready to be mounted onto the machine.

Mounting the Panel into the machine.

Insert the nib of the hinge (indicated by the arrow in fig. 2)

into the hole for the hinge and push the panel towards the

front of the machine. Fasten the two hinges with the type D

screws.

Fastening the plinth guide.

If the machine is installed at the end of a set of modular ca-

binets, mount either one or both of the guides for the base

molding (as shown in fig. 8). Adjust them for depth based on

the position of the base molding, and, if necessary, fasten

the base to the guides (fig. 9).

This is how to assemble the plinth guide (fig. 8):

Fasten angle P using screw R, insert plinth guide Q into the

special slot and once it is in the desired position, lock it in

place using angle P and screw R.

Inserting the machine into the Cabinet.

- Push the machine into the opening, aligning it with the

cabinets (fig. 6).

- Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the machine to the

appropriate height.

- To adjust the position of the wooden panel in both the

vertical and horizontal directions, use the C and D screws,

as shown in fig. 7.

Important: close the lower part of the appliance front by

ensuring that the plinth rests against the floor.

Fig. 8 Fig. 9

Accessories provided for the height adjustment.

The following can be found inside the polystyrene lid (fig. 10): 2

crossbars (G), 1 strip (M)

the following can be found inside

the appliance drum:

4 additional feet (H),

4 screws (I),

4 screws (R),

4 nuts (L),

2 plinth guides (Q)

Adjusting the appliance height.

The height of the appliance can be adjusted (from 815 mm to

835 mm), by turning the 4 feet.

Should you require the appliance to be placed higher than the

above height, you need to use the following accessories to

raise it to up to 870 mm:

the two crossbars (G); the 4 feet (H); the 4 screws (I); the 4

nuts (L) then perform the following operations (fig. 11):

remove the 4 original feet, place a crossbar G at the front of the

appliance, fastening it in place using screws I (screwing them in

where the original feet were) then insert the new feet H.

Repeat the same operation at the back of the appliance.

Now adjust feet H to raise or lower the appliance from 835 mm

to 870 mm.

Once you have reached the desired height, lock nuts L onto

crossbar G.

To adjust the appliance to a height between 870 mm and 900

mm, you need to mount strip M, adjusting feet H to the requi-

red height.

Insert the strip as follows:

loosen the three screws N situated at the front of the Top cover

of the appliance, insert strip M as shown in fig. 12, then fasten

screws N.
