Water inlet
There should be a COLD WATER tap near the washing machine with a screwing on connection pipe of 3/4" for the water supply, a sink, a wash basin or a drainage system in the wall.
Previously check if:
-it is not a hot water tap.
-the running water is clean. If not, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes. Have the permanent drainage system in the wall checked by a plumber.
1.Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance. The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.
NOTE
Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements.
2.If necessary turn the hose adequately by unscrewing the nut at the rear of the appliance. Now tighten the nut anew to avoid leaks. (Open the tap and assure that it does not leak and close it again.)
The appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa (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.
Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's drainage system using one of the following methods.
1. Into a drainage standpipe.
“U” piece supplied
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the «U» piece supplied. Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the standpipe is no more than 90 cm (35.4'') and no less than 60 cm (23.6'') above floor level.
