Washers
Electrical Connection:
The power consumption on the washers is very low, an approximate max of 3 amps, and you can connect to a standard 13 amp supply.
Water connections
Hot and cold fill. You must connect to both hot and cold water supplies. Connection is to a 3/4" BSP (standard UK thread) tap or a stopcock to shut off the water supply, with a minimum water pressure of 15 PSI*. This is no different from a standard washer. It is important that you have a good supply of hot water, as the wash temperature is dependent on the temperature of the incoming water.**
Notes:
* If either the hot or cold water pressure is low, the fill time will be extended, and some of the advantages of the very short wash cycles will be lost. Because the cycle includes a spray rinse, if the cold water pressure is low, there is no “spray” effect and the rinsing is not as effective.
Operating the washer with low water pressures will result in poor wash and rinse performance.
15 PSI means a water tank needs to be approximately 30 feet above the machine.
**Wash Temperature; if the hot water pressure is very low and the cold water pressure is high, the “mixing” could result in a low wash temperature. Low water pressure is not wide spread, but if it does affect you, it can be overcome by fitting a “booster pump”. For more information call 0844 4990101.

Drain connections
This is a large capacity washer and requires a slightly larger drain hose than normal. On standard washers the drain hose is normally placed into a
