Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not
impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine
does not touch the wall or other kitchen units.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under
the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.
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 a suitable existing tap with the
drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has an inlet hose, with female 3/4” BSP
thread connector. 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
Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4’’ thread.
Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be connected to a cold water
supply.
A minimum water pressure of 50kPa (0.5 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
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of
the water storage tank.
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.
Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed
into your home's water supply and drainage system.
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe,
the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic
“U-Piece” supplied.
The standpipe should have an internal diameter of
approximately 38mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there
is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of
the curve in the hose end is no more than 90cm (35.4'')
and no less than 60cm (23.6'') 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.
