Water connection
This appliance is designed to be permanently
plumbed into your home's water supply and drai-
nage system.
Water inlet
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 alterations to your existing plumbing must be
carried out by a competent person, or qualified
plumber.
The inlet hoses on the back of the appliance are
colour coded. Connect the hose with blue printed
text to the cold water supply and the hose with red
printed text to the hot water supply.
Before connecting the hoses be sure to fit the
washers supplied.
If only a cold water supply is availalbe connect the
two hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a "Y"
connection piece. (Available from your local D.I.Y.
Store).
Water Drainage
The appliance drain hose should hook into a
standpipe, with an internal diameter of
approximately 38mm (see diagram) thus ensuring
there is an air break between the drain hose and
standpipe. The hook in the drain hose is formed
using the plastic "U-piece" supplied. The "U-piece"
also has a retaining eye to secure the outlet hose
and prevent if from slipping off its location.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the
top of the curve in the hose end is no more than
100cm and no less than 70cm above floor level.
The upright standpipe should have a minimum,
length of 30cm (12") from the bottom of the elbow
to the top of the pipe (see diagram). Make sure that
it is designed in such a way that the end of the drain
hose cannot be covered with water.
If you intend the drain hose from the washing
machine to empty into a sink, make sure that the
sink is empty and that the plug hole is not blocked.
Use the plastic "U-piece" supplied. The "U-piece"
also has a retaining eye to secure the outlet hose
and prevent it from slipping off its location. The
force of draining water may force the hose out of
the sink.
