Electrolux 16850A - Manual (Page 36)

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer
in the event of a breakdown.
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or
similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
Water inlet
An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the water supply.
1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet
hose.
2. Connect the hose with the angled con-
nection to the machine.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards.
Angle the hose to the left or right de-
pending on the position of your water
tap.
3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the
ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose,
be sure to tighten the ring nut again to
prevent leaks.
4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4”
thread. Always use the hose supplied
with the appliance.
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.
Installation should comply with local water
authority and building regulations require-
ments. Check the minimum water pressure
required for safe operation of the appliance
in the chapter "Technical Data".
