If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual remains with the machine so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it. ! Please read this instruction manual carefully it contains important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance. ! You will find the guarantee and other details relating to the installation process in the bag containing this booklet. Unpacking and levelling Unpacking 1. Once the washing machine has been removed from the packaging, check that it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process. 2. Remove the four transit bolts and the rubber bush with the respective spacer, situated on the rear of the appliance. 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. 3. Having removed the 4 bolts use the 4 plastic blanking plates to cover the 4 holes. 4. Keep all the pieces; if the washing machine is transported in future, the transit bolts and spacers will have to be replaced in order to avoid damaging the inside of the machine. ! Packaging materials should not be used as toys by children. Levelling 1. Position the washing machine on a level and sturdy floor, without resting it against walls or cabinets. 2. If the floor is uneven, the feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a perfectly horizontal position (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). ! If the appliance is levelled correctly it will be more stable and much less likely to cause vibrations and noise during the spin cycle. ! If positioned on a fitted carpet or a rug, adjust the feet in such a way as to allow room for air to circulate and provide ventilation beneath the washing machine. Connecting the cold water and electricity supplies Connecting the water inlet hose ! Before connecting the inlet hose to the cold water supply allow the water to flow from the tap until it runs clear. 1. Connect the inlet hose to the machine, by screwing it into the cold water inlet on the upper right hand side of the back of the machine (see figure). 2. Place the seal A (provided in the bag) on the end of the inlet hose and screw it to a cold water tap with a 3/4 BSP threaded connection (see figure). 3. Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the inlet hose. ! The water pressure at the tap must fall within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see next page). ! If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician. ! Always use the new water inlet hoses supplied with the machine. 2 ■ Hotpoint Drainage Connection Connect the drain hose, without kinking it, to a draining duct or a stand pipe situated between 65 and 100 cm from the floor; The drain hose may be connected to an undersink 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 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 in the Technical details table (on the page 5); • the supply voltage is included within the values i ndicated on the Technical details table (on the page 5); • 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-rewi...
