Installation

Water Connection

Caution

1.The washing machine must only be operated with cold and hot (max. 140°F//60°C) tap water.

Do not connect the appliance to the mixer tap of an unpressured hot-water boiler.

2.To prevent water damage, the hot and cold water valves should be accessible when the washer is in place and should always be turned off when the washer is not in use.

!Remember: please use the new hoses supplied, fitted to the machine. Old hoses may cause leaks due to worn out washers or may be split due to water pressure.

Connecting the water inlet hoses

Included in the accessories supplied with the machine are 2 inlet hoses and 4 rubber washers. The straight end of these hoses should be connected to the supply.

The 90° angled end of these hoses should be connected to the inlet valves on the back of the machine to make a water tight seal on each connection (see below figure).

The couplings should be tightened by hand, a tool should only be used if a leak occurs. Do not use excessive force.

Repair or replacement of a part should be made only by a qualified service technician to prevent personal injury or damage to the machine. Inlet valves are color coded:

Red = Hot / White = Cold

Standpipe Diameter/Capacity. Needs a 1 1/4 minimum diameter standpipe with a minimum carry-away capacity of 7 gallons per minute.

Top of Standpipe. Must be between 25” - 34” inches (62- 86 cm) high measured from the bottom of the machine.

Outlet End of Drain Hose (provided with the unit). Must be at least 20” above the bottom of the washer. An air break must be available at the standpipe to avoid siphoning. No more than 6” of the drain hose should be inserted into the drain pipe to prevent siphoning.

!Although you may need to move the hooked end support along the grey drainage hose,, DO NOT remove it.

!Whichever draining method you use, make sure that the hooked end support is fixed level to, or above the ‘Plumbing Indicator Line’.

You should carefully position the drain hose to avoid kinks and ensure proper drainage of the water.

The outlet end of the drain hose must be at least 25” (62 cm) above the base machine. At this point it’ s possible for the water to be discharged into a sink or drain pipe, but an air break must be available at this 24” height to prevent the machine from syphoning (see figures page 8).

No more than 6” of the drain hose should be inserted in the drain pipe.

Important.

Make sure that the drain hose is not kinked and the water flow has not been restricted.

The machine must rest solid on a sturdy floor for optimum performance and minimum vibration.
