2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place.

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displacement of the machine during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible, always place the machine on a solid floor.
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 machine.
Warning
The machine 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.
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 Force Centre.
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18mm.
Important
●Before connecting 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.
In the interest of the environment
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.
