Plumbing - Water, Drains
WATER CONNECTION
1.This appliance can be used with either hot/cold or cold/cold connections.
2.The hoses supplied have either a straight end or an elbow end. The elbow end is meant to connect to the washer. Be sure to connect the hot hose to the hot side of the appliance itself, the cold side to the cold connection. (See picture) The straight end to the 3/4” BSP standard hose bib thread.
3.MAKE SURE WASHERS ARE INSTALLED IN EACH END OF THE SUPPLY HOSES.
4.Ensure that water connections are free from debris or sediment.
6.BRASS PRESSURE REDUCERS MUST BE INSTALLED TO PROTECT COMPONENTS INSIDE THE APPLIANCE.IMPORTANT ! CHECK THREADS ON THE MACHINE, THE BRASS PRESSUREREDUCERS AND THE SUPPLY HOSES TO ENSURE THEY ARE CLEAN. DO NOTUSE EXCESSIVE FORCES. TIGHTEN BY HAND. DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS.
Connection of the drain hose to standpipe
•Outlet end of drain hose (See figure 2) must be at least 20” above bottom of washer. Do NOT block top of standpipe closes with tape or other materials. An air break must be provided at the standpipe to avoid siphoning.
•Connect the drain hose to a standpipe (with internal diameter of at least 3.2 cm or 1 1/4” min. diameter) with a minimum carry away volume of 7 gallons. The top of the standpipe must be 20” minimum from the botton of the appliance. Place drain hose for drainage into a sink tub or standpipe, ensuring that there are no kinks or bends. The free end must be at a height of 80 cm (31 1/2”) from the floor,
the hose must be fixed in the appropriate hook on the upper part of the back panel (fig.4)
DO NOT INSERT THE END IF THE DRAIN HOSE MORE THAN 6” INTO THE STANDPIPE. INSERTING MORE MAY CAUSE THE APPLIANCES TO HAVE INSUFFICIENT DRAINAGE.
CORRECT LEVELING OF UNIT IS ESSENTIAL
It is important for the machine to be perfectly level. The angle of inclination on the work surface must not be more than
2 degrees. For this reason the machine is fitted with adjustable feet used for leveling the machine before use. In the case of carpeted flooring, remember to check that the ventilation in the support area is not plugged.
