Included in the accessories supplied with this machine are 2

inlet hoses and 4 rubber washers. The straight end of these

hoses should be connected to the supply fig. 1.

The 90° angled end of these hoses should be connected to

the inlet valves on the back of the machine, using one of the

washers to make a water tight seal on each connection. The

couplings should be tightened by hand, a tool should only be

used if a leak occurs. Do not use excessive force (see M, fig.

1).

The inlet valves are color coded:

Red

= Hot

White

= Cold

It is possible to run the machine on a single faucet with cold

water only, but water must be supplied to each inlet valve. The

“Y“ connector (available in the faucet adapter kit) allows a single

water source to be split into the two inlets at the rear of the

appliance (see fig. 2).

Instructions for installation and use

You should carefully position the drain hose to avoid kinks

and ensure proper drainage of the water.

The outlet end of the drain hose must be at least 25” (62 cm)

above the base of the machine. At this point it is possible for

the water to be discharged into a sink or drain pipe, but an air

break must be available at this 24” height to prevent the machine

from syphoning (see fig. aside).

No more than 6” of the drain hose should be inserted in the

drain pipe.

IMPORTANT

make sure that the drain hose is not kinked and the water flow

has not been restricted.

Standpipe drain system:

In RV installation needs a 1-1/2 inch (3.7 cm) diam.

standpipe with minimum carry away capacity of 7

gallons (31 liters) per minute or 2” (5 cm) in home
installation.

Floor Standpipe drain:

Top of standpipe must be at least 25 inches (62

cm) high and no higher than 34 inches (86 cm)

from the bottom of washer (A).

Wall standpipe drain:

25 inches (62 cm) min.; 34 inches (86 cm.) max

from end of drain hose to bottom of washer (B).

PLUMBING (Water Out)

Connection to the water mains

Water pressure must range within the values indicated on the

data plate on the rear of your washer-dryer. If the water pipes are

new or left unused, then before connecting the machine run the

water until clear to remove debris. Connect the inlet hose to a

cold water tap having a ¾“ BSP thread. Ensure that there are

rubber washers are at each end of the inlet hose. The L-Shaped

end goes on the machine and straight ends on the water faucets

Note:

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the

risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement

dates on the hoses for future reference.

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,

wear or leaks are found.
