Ensure there is clearance each side of the machine to allow slight side ways movement during washing and spin drying. Attention! In addition to this, washing machines should not be installed on carpet, foam backed laminate, or parquet flooring where the nature of these types of flooring can also contribute to the inefficient operation of the washing machine on the spin cycle. Never place your machine on a carpet. This prevents air circulation. The electrical components of the machine may overheat and may cause damage. Please ensure the power, water supplies and waste are suitable, if in doubt, consult a qualified plumber or electrician. Different methods of floor construction can result in an increase in vibration/noise during spin modes. If these symptoms are experienced please ensure firstly that all four feet are in firm contact with the floor to minimise any out of balance vibration which may be generated. Additional information is available by request. installation C C P Removing transport safety bolts The transport safety bolts must be removed before any operation of the machine. 1 Turn the bolt heads C anti-clockwise until the bolt can be partially withdrawn. 2 Remove them and the rubber bushes by pulling outwards. An up/down action and a small squirt of washing up liquid will ease removal. 3 Plastic plugs, supplied inside the protective bag, designated P, should be placed in the safety bolt holes as shown. Attention! Keep the safety bolts for future transportation and reinstate them before transporting your machine. Never transport your machine without the transport bolts in position. Any resultant damage is not covered by the warranty. 5 Feet adjustment To ensure quiet and stable operation, the machine should be positioned correctly and leveled. If the machine is unstable, adjust feet by loosening the plastic lock nut and screwing or unscrewing the feet until the machine is level. After positioning, tighten the lock nut. 5 WMA 520 W Your machine comes with cold water connection only. Connect the cold water using the hose with blue printing or colour. min. Cold water supply For proper operation, the pressure of cold water should be between 1 and 10 bars. (1 bar corresponds to more than 8 litres per minute flow rate with a fully open tap.) To prevent water leaks, sealing washers are supplied with the water inlet hose inside the machine. Place these on the hose end and tighten both ends fully. In order to prevent any water leakage and damage, turn off the water tap when not in use. Connect the right angled end of the hose to the machine water inlet. The washing machine must only be connected with the new hose provided and old hoses must not be reused. Drain hose The drain hose should be placed and secured either at the side of the sink A, directly to the drain B or directly to the waste water inlet C. · The hose should not be bent. · Using method A, the drain hose should be secured with the elbow so that it can not be dislodged. · The waste pipe must only be connected into the foul drains and not surface water drainage system. · The hose should be placed between 20 and 80cm from the floor level and must not be extended otherwise the machine may not empty the waste water. · The minimum diameter of any external pipe must be 32 mm. 6 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 Water inlet connection 60° 40° Synthetics 30° 90° 60° Cottons 40° Intensive & Stain 60° Intensive 40° No Spin Start / Pause Cancel Prewash Rinse Hold Extra Rinse On/Off 400 3h 6h 9h Time Delay 40° Woollens Cold Hand Wash Rinse Spin 600 1200 40º Delicates 30° Drain 1000 800 Ready Wash Spin/End 80 90 100 110 electrical connection Make sure that you have an earthed power outlet socket rated at 13 amps (minimum).

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. 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 Beko Authorised Service Agent. Warning This appliance must be earthed f Green and yellow or green 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.
