rubbish! Valuable materials can be salvaged from an old appliance via scrap
reprocessing.
Note: to ensure safety when disposing of an old
washing machine disconnect the mains plug from the
socket, cut the mains power cable and destroy this
together with the plug. To prevent children shutting

supply is earthed, if not, seek assistance from a qualified electrician.
D) Do not touch the appliance when hands or feet are wet or damp. Do not use
the appliance with bare feet.
E) The use of adapters, multiple connectors and/or extensions is not
recommended.
F) Caution: water temperature can reach 90°C during
the whites wash cycle and as a result the door glass
may get very hot.

H) Do not allow children or unauthorised persons to use the appliance without
supervision.
I) Do not pull the power cable or the appliance itself to remove the plug from the

40000802.qxd 13/11/2003 12:29 Page 4
K) When moving the appliance never lift it by the controls, the detergent drawer,
the hoses or the power cable.
To avoid damaging the door when moving the appliance never rest the door
against objects e.g a trolley.
L) IMPORTANT!
If the appliance is installed on a carpeted floor ensure that the ventilation
through the base of the appliance is not obstructed.
M) When lifting the machine always use two people to help avoid injuries.
N) If the appliance is not running properly or breaks down, switch it off, disconnect
the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and do not tamper with the
appliance.
Consult GIAS Service (tel: 08705 400 600) for possible repair. Failure to comply
with the above can compromise the safety of the appliance.

Installation & testing

Note: we recommend you keep the transit bracket and
screws to protect the machine for future transit.
The Manufacturers will not be responsible for any
damage to the machine caused by not following the
instructions relating to releasing the transit protection.
The user is responsible for all installation costs.
Connecting the Cold Fill Hose
Only one hose is required to install this machine to a cold water supply.
Cold fill is an energy efficient system. Only the water required to wash the laundry
is heated. There is no loss of heat in the pipeline from the hot water tank or the
boiler.
If your previous machine installation was hot and cold fill ensure that the hot tap is
firmly closed to prevent leakage.
Connection to the cold supply
The machine has an inlet hose with 19mm (3/4") threaded ferules fitted to the
end. This hose connects between the threaded connector on the rear of the
appliance and the water supply.
Only use the new hose supplied to connect the machine and ensure that the
sealing washers are in place inside the hose connectors.
Do not re-use an old hose which was attached to the existing installation.
Do not over-tighten the connections. Hand tight is sufficient.
Do not trap or kink the hose.
This Appliance must be connected to a COLD WATER
supply only

2. Switch on the electricity supply.
3. Select a spin programme and then press the on/off button to start the
machine.
Allow the programme to continue for one minute and then switch off the
machine via the on/off button. This will remove any water remaining in the
machine from factory testing.
4. To check for cold water filling to the machine:
Select a rinse programme and press the on/off button to start the machine.
Allow the tumble action to continue until the water has pumped out.
Check that the drain outlet is not leaking or overflowing.
5. Switch off the machine via the on/off button at the end of the cycle.

To ensure the drum is thoroughly clean after testing and storage, select
programme 2 and run the machine for a complete cycle using only wash
detergent and water.
If the machine is not to be used immediately, switch off the mains power supply
and remove the plug from the power socket. We also recommend that the water
stop taps are turned off.

Note: it is advisable to isolate the washing machine
from the water and electricity supplies after each wash.
Electricity supply and safety advice
Washing machines are supplied to operate at a voltage of 240V, 50 Hz single-
phase. Check that the conductor is powerful enough to supply at least 3.0 kW,
then connect the plug to a 13A earthed socket.
Electricity can be extremely dangerous. This washing machine must be earthed.
The socket outlet and the plug on the appliance must be of the same type.
It is not advisable to use multiple adapters and/or extension leads.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following codes:
Blue – NEUTRAL
Brown – LIVE
Green and Yellow – EARTH.
If the mains cord on this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a special
cord which is only obtainable from the Hoover spares service, GIAS (01204
556111).
