WARNING

• If the problem persists after following the instructions in this section, contact your vendor or an Authorized Service. Never try to repair your product yourself.
• In an event that you encounter an issue on any part on your appliance, you can ask for a replacement by contacting the authorized service with the appliance model number.
• Operating the appliance with non-authentic parts may lead the appliance to malfunction.
• Manufacturer and distributor are not liable for malfunctions resulting from using non-authentic parts.

Electrical Connection

Make sure that you have an earthed power outlet socket rated at 13 amps (minimum).

Attention
When installed, the socket must be reachable after installation, or a separate switch (which can disconnect the two poles) must be used in the installation. Check for suitability.For a permanent connection, a master switch with at least 3mm contact clearance and minimum 13 A rating must be used.

Electrical requirements
Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown in the rating label corresponds to your electricity supply. We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position. Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or need replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from a Authorised Service Agent.

WARNING

This appliance must be earthed If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTA approved BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from any good electrical store. In order to avoid hazards, damaged supply cord should be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified people. Built-under installation This appliance can be installed under a worktop. Do not operate without the top cover fitted. Risk of injury.

IMPORTANT

Fitting a different plug
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals on your plug, proceed as follows:

1. Connect the green – yellow or green (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol or coloured green and yellow or green.
2. Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
3. Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red. With the alternative plugs a 13A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.

Washer/dryer combination
Do not stack washing machine on top of the tumble dryer. This would damage both appliances and guarantees would become void. It is also unsafe to stack an appliance on top of another without using a suitable and approved stacking kit obtained from the manufacturer of the appliances.

• A special stacking kit is required as an optional extra please contact customer service.
