Electrical Connection
Before connecting your Zanussi washer dryer to the electrical supply, ensure that the electrical specifications of the appliance match the electrical supply in your home. The appliance should be connected to a properly installed and earthed electrical outlet. The power cord must be long enough to reach the electrical outlet without being stretched or pinched. Avoid using extension cords, as they can overheat and cause a fire hazard.
Do not use an adapter or multi-plug. Never pull the power cord to disconnect the appliance from the electrical outlet. Always grasp the plug and pull it straight out of the socket. Make sure that the power cord is not damaged or frayed. If the cord is damaged, it should be replaced by a qualified technician to avoid electrical hazards.

Water Connection
Connecting your Zanussi washer dryer to the water supply requires careful attention to ensure proper functionality and safety. Before connecting the appliance, check the water pressure and ensure it falls within the recommended range specified in the user manual. If the water pressure is too low, the appliance may not fill properly, leading to incomplete washes. Conversely, if the pressure is too high, it could damage the appliance.
Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a threaded connection. Ensure that the hose is securely fastened to both the appliance and the tap to prevent leaks. Use the provided hose and avoid using any other type of hose, as this could lead to malfunctions or safety issues. Regularly check the water inlet hose for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged hose immediately to avoid water leaks and potential damage.
Locate the drain hose and connect it to a suitable drainage system. The drain hose should be securely fastened to the appliance and positioned above the floor level to prevent water from flowing back into the appliance. Ensure that the drain hose is not kinked or blocked, as this could hinder proper water drainage and cause flooding. Avoid placing the drain hose in a position where it could come into contact with hot surfaces or sharp edges.
