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.

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

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

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.

P0022

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.

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.
