Electrolux EW 970 C: Installation

Installation

Water discharge

These three alternatives are possible for the dis-

charge hose:

Over the top edge of a washtub:

Use this option only if you can be sure that the hose will not

move when the machine is emptying. The hose can be fixed

to the wall on a hook or tied to a tap with string (Fig. 1).

Directly into a waste pipe with a trap:

The discharge pipe can be connected directly into the pipe

(e.g. one beneath a washtub or kitchen sink), above the

water trap. The discharge hose must be arranged so that

some part of its length is routed up to a level

corresponding to the top edge of the tub, and fixed in place

there (Fig. 2).

Directly into a wall standpipe:

This standpipe should be vertical. The height above the

floor should be between 450 and 800 mm.

There must be an air gap around and below the end of the

discharge hose. This means that the internal diameter of the

standpipe must be greater than the outer diameter of the

hose (Fig. 3). The hose must not be sticked into the standpipe

more than 50 mm and it has to be fixed in this position.

The discharge hose can be extended up to total 3,5 m.

For the extension piece use a hose with an internal

diameter at least as large as that of the machine's own

hose. Use a suitable hose connector. The hose should

always be routed at floor level, rising up only where it

meets the waste pipe (Fig. 4).

Power supply

The washing machine is supplied with a lead and electrical

plug for connection to a 230 V, 10 A earthed wall socket. If

the machine is installed in a "wet area" (bathroom, laundry)

but without fixed wiring to the electrical supply, an earth

leakage circuit breaker (or RCD) must be used.

If the washing machine is to have fixed wiring to the

electrical supply, this work may only be carried out

by a qualified electrician.
