Positioning
Your new washing machine has been designed to
be permanently plumbed in to your home’s water
supply and drainage system. However, if this is not
possible, it may be connected to suitable existing
taps with the drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold,
with female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. If this
connection is not compatible with the plumbing of
the existing installation, a variety of connectors are
available from good hardware stores and plumbers
merchants to suit most domestic plumbing. Any
alteration to your existing plumbing must be carried
out by a competent person, or qualified plumber.
Water inlet
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour
coded, blue for cold and red for hot.
Before connecting the hoses be sure to fit the mesh
filters supplied as per diagram.
If only a cold water supply is available, connect the
two hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y»
connection piece.
Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be given a separate cold water
supply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a
single outlet water heater or a booster pump. A
minimum water pressure of 0.48 bar is required for
safe operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct
from the rising mains, you may be able to operate
the appliance from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m
(16
1
/
2
ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the
bottom of the water storage tank.
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water
supply, providing there is a minimun height of 2.74
metres (9 ft) between the bottom of the cold water
storage tank and the bottom of the hot water
cylinder.
Set the hoses correctly by loosening the ring nuts.
After positioning the inlet hoses, be sure to tighten
the ring nuts again to prevent leaks.
