CONNECTING THE INLET TUBES AND VALVES
Besides, the free end of the drain hose should not be submerged in water
(therefore please avoid connecting the hose to the sewage pipes with a
constant water flow).
draining
NOTE: If the free end of the hose is routed into a sink, use a special holding clamp
(bracket) as in the case with a bathtub; secure the clamp with a chain or rope.
1. Check the availability of the rubber gaskets on both sides of the flexible tube.
If necessary, insert the rubber gaskets into the threaded fittings of each hose
end for sealing the connections.
2. Usually, on the water supply piping side, the tube is connected to a three-way
valve attached to the tube to provide water cutoff from the machine. Screw the
ring nut of the tube onto the valve by hand as firmly as possible, then tighten
by a quarter or half turn with a suitable tool. Do not overtighten the nut, as this
may rupture the gasket and cause a leak.
3. After connecting open the valve to flush any contaminants (dirt, dust, sand)
from the tube that may have gotten inside during installation. Collect the
water in a bucket or basin.
4. Screw the ring nut of the tube onto the washing machine inlet, then tighten it
the same way as on the water supply valve.
NOTE: Every time you open the water supply valve after connecting it to the
machine, do it slowly to prevent surge (hydraulic shock) and damage to the
internal component of the machine.
Close the water supply valve every time after using the machine to prevent leaks
and spillage.
ATTENTION
Do not try to extend the water supply tube yourselves! If the water supply tap is
located too far away from the machine, buy a longer tube.
CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY
1. The washing machine should be connected to a properly installed grounded
electric socket protected by an automatic circuit breaker of 16A rating.
For added safety it is recommended to connect the washing machine to a
dedicated lead (socket) assigned in the switchboard and used exclusively to
connect the washing machine, protected by a dedicated differential current
circuit breaker or a combined automatic circuit breaker and ground fault
circuit breaker (GFCI).
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any damage if the machine is
connected to a power supply circuit without a functioning earthing connection
installed in accordance with local regulations.
2. The electric circuit to which the machine is connected should be located in
a easily visible and accessible place, within 1 m to the left or right of the
appliance. Please prevent situations when the power cable can be jammed,
tugged at or trampled upon.
3. Never use extension cables or cluster type power sockets to connect the
appliance. This is critical to avoid loose contacts or contacts with insufficient
area and thus to prevent fires. Never connect the appliance via an external
timer.
4. If the power cable is damaged it shall only be repaired by a properly qualified
technician at a service center.
NOTE: The washing machine can be connected to water supply via an ordinary
domestic tap. In this case all the same requirements should be observed,
besides, to avoid spillage, please ensure that the connection between the tap
and the hose is tight and secure and the tube will not come off the tap. However,
this connection method is not recommended and can only be applied if a fixed
connection to water supply is not possible.
5. OPERATING THE WASHING MACHINE
DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION
ATTENTION
Connection of the appliance to the drain should only be performed by a skilled
technician.
ATTENTION
Before doing your laundry ensure that the washing machine is installed properly
in accordance with our instructions.
The appliance has undergone quality acceptance tests at the factory, therefore it
may contain water and show minor traces of test operation.
ATTENTION
In order to eliminate any unpleasant odor and clean the washing machine before
starting operation we recommend running one washing cycle in “Cotton” mode at
90 °С without clothes and detergents.
Don’t worry if the odour hasnt’t dissappeared completely. It is the odour from
heated rubber and plastic parts.
Either start long washing programm with high temperature (without laundry), or
wait the odour dissappears after couple of next washings.
1. One end of the hose is fixed to the appliance. Do not pull it out or force it in.
2. The other (free) end of the hose can be routed into a bathtub, sink, or connected
to the drain (sewage) piping.
3. If the free end of the hose is routed into a bathtub or sink, it should be firmly
secured (e.g. with a special bathtub clamp). A loose hose can easily fall off
because of the water pressure and cause spillage.
4. When connecting the hose to the drain pipe, make sure it is not inserted too
deep so as not to obstruct the sewage flow. If the hose is too long – cut it
down to size.
5. In any case please avoid the siphon effect when connecting the machine to the
drain; otherwise the water will not stop running. For this purpose a part of the
hose should always be raised at least 60 cm above the floor.
