IKEA FWM7 - Manual (Page 6)

• Never use the appliance if the power
supply cable, the control panel, the work-
ing surface or the base is damaged so
that the inside of the appliance is accessi-
ble.
Water inlet
• This appliance must be connected to a
cold water supply.
• Do not use connection hoses from an old
appliance to connect it to the water sup-
ply.
• The water pressure must be in the limits
(refer to the chapter «Technical data» ta-
ble). Make sure that the local water au-
thority gives you the average mains pres-
sure in your area.
• Make sure that there are no kinks in the
water inlet hose and that the water inlet
hose is not squashed or entangled.
• Before connecting up the appliance to
new pipework or to pipework that has
not been used for some time, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out
any debris that may have collected in the
pipes.
• Turn the inlet hose on the back of the ap-
pliance to the left or the right to suit the
installation.
• The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If
it is too short and you do not wish to
move the tap, you will have to purchase a
new, longer hose specially designed for
this type of use.
• Before opening the water tap, be sure to
tighten the ring nut well to prevent any
leaks.
Water drainage
• Make sure the end of the drain hose can-
not come unhooked when the appliance
is emptying. This could be done by tying
it to the tap with a piece of string or at-
taching it to the wall.
• The drain hose must be placed at a
height of not less than 44 cm and not
more than 90 cm. Please refer to the As-
sembly Instruction booklet.
Care and cleaning
• Before maintenance, switch off the appli-
ance and disconnect the mains plug from
the mains socket.
• Clean the exterior cabinet of the appli-
ance with soap and water only, and then
dry thoroughly.
• The washing powder and additive dis-
penser drawer should be cleaned regu-
larly.
• Inspected the pump regularly and partic-
ularly if:
– the appliance does not empty and/or
spin
– the appliance makes an unusual noise
during draining due to objects such as
safety pins, coins etc. blocking the
pump.
• Never remove the pump cover during a
wash cycle. Always wait until the appli-
ance has drained out the water. If you
have selected an high temperature wash-
ing programme please wait until the wa-
ter has cooled down.
• Ensure that the pump cover is securely re-
tightened to prevent any leaks.
