Plumbing In
Your new 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.

The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device, which protects against damage caused by water leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the window “A”. Should this occur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Service Centre to replace the hose. 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 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 vertical distance of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.
