Installation 31
be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
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. Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations require- ments. A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa is required for safe operation of the appli- ance.
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.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
1.Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.
In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.
2. In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.
3. Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Centre.
