Safety first

●

Dispose of packaging

materials carefully and

keep them well away

from children.

●

When disposing of your

old machine,to minimise

risk of injury to children,

isolate from the electrical

supply,remove the door,

the plug and cut the mains

cable off flush with the

appliance. Dispose of

them separately to make

sure that the appliance

can no longer be plugged

into a mains socket.

●

This washing machine is

designed for domestic

use only.

●

Before using your

machine remove the

transit bolts and spacers

from the back of the

machine.

Keep the parts you

remove for future

transportation.

●

Any electrical work

necessary to install this

machine should be

carried out by a qualified

electrician.

This instruction manual contains important details on using your machine safely.

Please keep it safe for your future reference.

If you pass the machine onto someone else, please make sure that you give them this

manual so that the new owner can read these safety warnings.

✔✘

SAFETY

●

Do not plug your

machine into a socket

when your hands are

wet.

●

Do not connect the

washing machine to a

single outlet

instantaneous water

heater.

●

Do not try to modify

this machine in any way.

●

Do not connect the

washing machine

directly to an artificial

water softening unit.

Use the recommended

amount of detergent for

the water hardness in

your area.

●

Do not let children play

with the machine or its

controls.

●

Do not stand on the

machine or in the door

opening.

●

Do not lean on the door

or use the door to lift or

1. Choose a location...

Where you install the machine will affect its performance.

●

For your safety and to comply with electrical

regulations,seek professional advice if you want to

install your machine in a bath or shower room.

●

Make sure that the electrical socket and water taps are

easily accessible. You should switch off the machine’s

electrical and water supplies when you are not using it.

●

Make sure that you allow enough space for the

machine. Select a space at least 600mm wide,600mm

deep and 850mm high. Also leave enough space to

open the door fully so you can load and unload it easily.

●

Where possible the machine should be positioned on a

solid level floor to minimise vibration.

●

Take care when you move the machine not to rip any

floor coverings. There are wheels on the bottom rear of

the machine,so tilting it backwards a little is the easiest

way to move it. The weight of the machine may cause

indentations in some floor coverings.

Follow these steps for trouble free installation:

Installing your machine

After removing the packaging from the machine,make

sure that the polystyrene block (figure 1) has come away

from the underside of the machine,with the polystyrene

base.

If it has not come away,carefully lower the machine on

its side onto the polystyrene top cap and then remove

the polystyrene block (see figure 2).

You may need a second person to help you lower and

raise the machine.

the machine in

and switch it

on at the mains

until the

installation is

completed.

Make sure that the electrical socket is accessible. Take the

mains lead from the back of the machine and plug it into the

socket. We do not recommend wiring your machine directly

into the mains supply.

Changing the mains lead

If you have damaged the existing lead and need a new one,

contact Hotpoint Service UK on 08709 066066 or

www.theservicecentre.co.uk (or in the Republic of Ireland on

1850 302 200). A charge will be made.We strongly advise that

fitting the new lead is carried out by a qualified electrician.

Changing the plug

If you need to change your plug if it does not fit your socket;

isolate the machine from the mains supply.Cut off the

supplied plug and safely dispose of the discarded plug.

Note: If you change the plug,the colour of wires in the mains

lead may not match the colour of the markings which show

the different terminals in the plug. You must wire it as shown

below.

Fuses

Your machine comes fitted with a plug and a 13 amp (13A)

fuse. If you need to replace the fuse,use only those rated at 13

amp (13A) and ASTA approved to BS1362. To change the fuse,

lift the holder to vertical position and lift the fuse out. To

replace the fuse,insert the fuse and push the fuse holder down

into the locked position. Correct replacement is identified by

colour coding or the marking on the base of plug.

WARNING:

Do not use the plug unless the fuse holder is in the locked

position and the top cover firmly replaced.

CE marking shows that this machine meets the

following EEC directives.

LowVoltage Equipment - 72/23/EEC & 93/68/EEC

Electromagnetic Compatibility - 89/336/EEC,92/31/EEC

& 93/68/EEC.

●

To avoid a

shock hazard,

when

changing a

plug, always

safely discard

the cut off

Hot and cold fill

1 Unclip the grey and blue fill hoses from the back of the

machine.

2 Connect the free end of the grey fill hose to the HOT water

supply (see figure1). Connect the free end of the blue fill

hose to the COLD water supply.

3 Turn on your water supply and check for leaks.

If there is a leak,turn off the water supply,remove the

connector and check that the sealing washer is in place.

Refit the connector and tighten it.

Turn on the water supply.

4 When moving the machine into its final position,make

sure that the hoses are not trapped or kinked.

If the fill hoses are too short:

Longer fill hoses are available from our Genuine Parts and

Accessories Mail Order Hotline UK on 08709 077 077 or

www.theservicecentre.co.uk (or in the Republic of Ireland

on (01) 842 6836).

Remove the existing fill hoses from the inlet valves on the

back of the machine and fit the new longer fill hoses as

shown above with the angled ends of the hoses

connected to the machine (see figure 2).

If you have no hot water supply or your hot water

pressure is low:

A cold fill adaptor (figure 3) and fitting instructions are

available from your local Hotpoint authorised Service

Centre or by calling the Genuine Parts and Accessories

Mail Order Hotline UK on 08709 077 077 or

www.theservicecentre.co.uk

(or in the Republic of Ireland on (01) 842 6836).

●

Your hot and cold water pressure should be between 3

and 150 psi (21 - 1034 kPa).

●

The water supply taps should be accessible when the

machine is installed.

●

Before connecting the fill hoses,check that water is

running from the water supply taps you will use for your

machine.

●

Connect the washing machine to the water supply using

the fill hoses fitted to the machine. Do not use old hoses.

WARNINGS:

●

The

temperature

of your hot

water supply

should ideally

be 60°C and

no higher

than 70°C as

this could

cause

damage to

your laundry

and the

machine.

●

Do not

●

Do not remove the hooked end support from the GREY

drainage hose when using any of the drainage methods

detailed below. You may need to reposition it as required along

the drainage hose.

●

For drainage into a standard work top sink,ensure the outlet

pipe has a minimum diameter of 32mm. If your sink is inset,

the front edge of the basin must be less than 75mm from the

front edge of your worktop,so that the drain hose will hook

securely into the sink. Unclip the drainage hose from the back

of the machine and hook over into the sink. Make sure that the

sink is free of any obstructions and that the sink plug can not

fall into the sink,preventing the water from draining away

freely.Pumped out water may be very hot.

We recommend one of the following drainage methods:

Standpipe

1 Make sure that the standpipe has a

minimum diameter of 38mm.

2 Remove the drainage hose from the

clips on the back of the machine.

3 Make sure that the top of the

standpipe is positioned at least

500mm from the floor (see figure1).

Use the plumbing indicator line label

on the back of the machine as a

guide.

4 Place the drainage hose

approximately 100mm into the

standpipe.

Under sink waste system

1 Cut out the membrane,bung or

blanking plug (see figure 2).

2 Unclip the drainage hose from the

back of the machine.

3 Move the hooked end support along

the drainage hose as required.

4 Attach the drainage hose securely to

the under sink drainage unit,using a

hose clip (see figure 3).

5 Raise the hooked end support up to

at least 800mm to avoid water being

drawn back into the machine.

Now that you have successfully installed your new machine,we advise

that you run it through a programme C wash without any laundry and

without any detergent in it.

This will check your installation,connections and drainage,and will

thoroughly clean the interior before you carry out an actual wash

programme on your laundry.

NOTE: This will take approximately 2 hours 30 minutes to complete.
