Whirlpool W10131548B Washer User Manual


 
Washers
ElEctrical connEction:
The power consumption on the washers is very low, an approximate
max of 3 amps, and you can connect to a standard 13 amp supply.
WatEr connEctions
Hot and cold ll. You must connect to both hot and cold water
supplies. Connection is to a
3
/4" BSP (standard UK thread) tap or a
stopcock to shut off the water supply, with a minimum water pressure
of 15 PSI*. This is no different from a standard washer. It is important
that you have a good supply of hot water, as the wash temperature is
dependent on the temperature of the incoming water.**
notEs:
* If either the hot or cold water pressure is low, the ll time will be
extended, and some of the advantages of the very short wash
cycles will be lost. Because the cycle includes a spray rinse, if
the cold water pressure is low, there is no “spray” effect and the
rinsing is not as effective.
Operating the washer with low water pressures will result in poor
wash and rinse performance.
15 PSI means a water tank needs to be approximately 30 feet
above the machine.
** Wash Temperature; if the hot water pressure is very low and the
cold water pressure is high, the “mixing” could result in a low
wash temperature. Low water pressure is not wide spread, but
if it does affect you, it can be overcome by tting a “booster
pump”. For more information call 0844 4990101. When prompted
by the automated voice response system, select the option for
“consumer”, then select option #4.
Drain connEctions
This is a large capacity washer and requires a slightly larger drain
hose than normal. On standard washers the drain hose is normally
placed into a 1-
1
/2" stand pipe. On the Heavy Duty washer, you will
need a 2" stand pipe (or you could place it directly into a suitable sink
if preferred).
