Currys Essentials C712WM17 - Connecting to the Mains Supply; First Time Use

Connecting the Water Supply Hose
1. To prevent leakage from the connection
joints, ensure the rubber washer seals are
fitted to each end of the water supply hose.
Do not use without the seals in place.
2. Fit the straight end of the water supply hose
to the cold water tap.
3. Connect the angled end of the white headed hose to the
water inlet valve on the machine. Hand tighten the plastic
parts of the connections. If you are unsure, please call a
qualified plumber.
4. Open the tap slowly and check that there are no leaks around
the connection joints.
Draining to a sink or wash-basin
• Secure the drain hose in position, so it can’t drop out of the basin.
• Don’t block the basin’s drain outlet, and make sure that the drainage through is sufficient to
prevent overflowing.
• Don’t let the tip of the drain hose dip into the drained water, as this can cause the water to flow
back into the washing machine.

Connecting to the Mains Supply
For your safety:
• Do not use a mains plug adapter or extension cable.
• If the mains cable or mains plug are damaged, disconnect from the main, stop using them and call
a qualified technician for assistance.
• Mains cord of your washing machine is equipped with an Earthed plug. This plug must always be
inserted to an earthed socket capable of supplying 13 Amps. If you don’t have such a socket and
fuses in your house, please call a qualified electrician.
