Installation on a Suspended Floor
Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.
Water inlet
Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance to connect to the water supply.
Do not use previously used hoses for water connection.
P1088 |
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.
Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

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 18 mm.
If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do not require the “U” piece”. Just push the hose firmly into the standpipe.
