If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink entering the appliance. If you intend to drain the hose from the machine into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and the plug hole is not blocked. Use the plastic “U - Piece” supplied.
Important! Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.
Special conditions
If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of the appliance.
Warning! The appliance should NOT be placed on deep pile carpeting.
Note!
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.
In the interest of the environment
The appliance should be connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before being discharged safely into a river. It is essential that these appliances are not connected to the surface water drainage system as this water is discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause pollution.
If you require any further advice please contact your local water authority.
