Safety Warnings
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
General Use
• This washing machine is for household (domestic) use only.
• Do not install your washing machine anywhere that is damp or
exposed to the weather. If you do, it may cause an electric shock, fire,
failure or deterioration.
• Keep flammable substances well away from the washing machine. They
may cause an explosion or a fire.
• Before you start using the washing machine, turn the tap on to check
that the hose is properly connected. If it’s not, there may be a water
leak.
• Do not put too much laundry or detergent into the washing machine.
It may cause issues with the washing machine or laundry.
Power Source and Cable
• Make sure your home voltage matches the voltage displayed on the
washing machine. If you are not sure, contact an electrician.
• Use an independent household dedicated mains socket, rated at 13
Amp 220V to 240V AC. If the washing machine is plugged in with other
appliances, it may overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure the mains plug is pushed firmly into the socket. A loose
connection may overheat and cause electrical shock or a fire.
• Do not use a mains plug adaptor or extension cable. It may overheat
and cause a fire.
• The mains plug must remain accessible to allow disconnection or an
all pole switch must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance
with the wiring rules.
• Check the mains lead and mains plug for any damage. If the mains
cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Unplug the mains lead when cleaning the washing machine.
• Do not touch the mains lead or mains plug with wet hands. It may
cause an electric shock.
4

• Check the mains plug regularly for dirt. If dirt accumulates on the
mains plug, it could cause a fire. To prevent this, unplug the cable and
clean the mains plug with a dry rag.
• If you disconnect the mains plug, hold onto the mains plug not the
cable. Pulling the cable may cause an electric shock or a fire.
To Prevent Injury / Damage
• When opening and closing the door ensure you keep fingers away
from the door hinge.
• Do not wash, rinse or spin water-proof sheets or clothing. These may
cause vibration or washing machine failure during spin-drying, which
could lead to injury, damage to the washing machine or damage due
to water leaking.
• Be careful when draining hot water or any detergent from the washing
machine.
• Do not dismantle, repair or modify the washing machine. The washing
machine could malfunction and cause a fire or injury.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above
and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by
children unless they are older than 8 and supervised.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
• The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using the new
hose-set supplied. Old hose-sets should not be reused.
• The ventilation openings in the base of the washing machine must not
be obstructed by a carpet.
IT IS HAZARDOUS FOR ANYONE OTHER THAN AUTHORISED
SERVICE PERSONNEL TO CARRY OUT SERVICING OF REPAIRS
WHICH INVOLVE THE REMOVAL OF COVERS.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT ATTEMPT
REPAIRS YOURSELF.

Installing Your Washing Machine
Please read and follow the instructions carefully.
• In addition to the instructions mentioned here, special regulations of the relevant water and power
supply companies may apply. If in doubt, have the washing machine connected by a qualified
technician.
• The washing machine is heavy - caution when lifting it. Do not lift by projecting components (e.g.
washing machine door).
• Warning: Frozen hoses may tear/burst. Do not install washing machine in outdoor areas or where
there is a risk of frost.
• Lay hoses and cables in such a way that there is no risk of trapping or kinking.
Choosing the Right Location for Your Washing Machine
• Make sure there’s enough space for your washing machine.
• Install your washing machine on a flat, stable surface to avoid excessive vibration and noise.
• Don’t install your washing machine in direct sunlight or in a place where temperatures reach
freezing.
Additional space (100mm) is required for the rear side of the washing machine. This is to
allow enough space for the water hose and drain hose connections.
Two or more people are required to carry
the washing machine.

INSTALLATION

Moving and Installing
Removing the Transit Bolts
Three transit bolts keep the interior of the washing machine in place while it’s being moved.
They need to be removed before installation. Use a spanner (not supplied) and follow the instructions
detailed below.
Moving the Washing Machine from One Location to Another
Before you move the washing machine:
• Shut off the tap and run the washing machine to drain the water. Drain any remaining water from
the pump hose.
• Disconnect the mains cable.
• Attach the transit bolts.
To remove the transit bolts:
1. Use a spanner to loosen the 3 bolts. They are located at the rear side of the washing machine.
2. Pull the bolts out horizontally. Make sure the entire bolt is removed.
3. Push the four cover caps (included with your accessories) into the respective bolt holes.
1 2 3
Don’t run the washing machine without removing the transit bolts, as this can
cause excessive vibrations.
You’ll need the anchor bolts again if you move the washing machine, so make
sure you keep them in a safe place.
Make sure the anchor bolts are fixed prior to moving the washing machine.

INSTALLATION

Levelling the Washing Machine
There are 4 levelling feet on the underside. They must be adjusted to make sure the washing machine
is level.
1. On each stand, loosen the lock nut by turning it clockwise with a spanner.
2. Adjust all four feet by rotating upwards or downwards.
3. Use a spirit level to ensure the washing machine is level.
4. Tighten each lock nut by turning them anti-clockwise (towards the
washing machine body), again using a spanner.
Ensure all four lock nuts are tightened securely. Check the feet are still bolted to
the washing machine - if they’re unbolted, the washing machine will move around.
Water Supply Hose
Points to remember
• Follow the instructions in this section to avoid water leaks.
• Don’t connect the hose to a combination tap.
• Don’t twist, squash, modify or cut the hose.
• Optimum water pressure in the water mains pipe is 0.03 MPa - 0.8 MPa. If the water pressure is set
higher than this, you will need to install a depressurising valve. Water-flow from the tap should be
more than 5 litres per minute. If you’re unsure, ask a qualified technician to connect the hose.
• This unit must only be connected to cold water mains using the new water inlet hose provided.
• If your washing machine is delivered in freezing weather conditions, leave it at room temperature
for 24 hours after you’ve set it up before using it. This ensures there’s no ice blocking the water
supply hose. If your water supply hose freezes, add 2 or 3 litres of warm water to the drum. Then
run a “Drain” only programme.

Water Drain Hose
Points to remember:
• Don’t twist, pull out or bend the drain hose.
• Your washing machine should be no more than 85cm from the drain outlet.
Draining to a sink or wash-basin
• Secure the drain hose in position, so it can’t drop out of the basin.
• Don’t block the basin’s drain outlet, and make sure that the drainage through it is sufficient.
• Don’t let the tip of the drain hose dip into the drained water, as this can cause the water to flow
back into the washing machine.
Connecting to the Mains Supply
For your safety:
• Do not use a mains plug adapter or extension cable.
• If the mains cable or mains plug are damaged, stop using them and call a qualified technician for
assistance.
• Mains cord of your washing machine is equipped with an Earthed plug. This plug should always be
inserted to an earthed socket capable of supplying 13 Amps. If you don’t have such a socket and
fuses in your house, please call a qualified electrician.
