Water connection
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's water supply and drai- nage system.
Water inlet
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold with female 3/4" BSP thread connectors. If this connection is not compatible with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety of connectors are available from good hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic plumbing.
Any alterations to your existing plumbing must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified plumber.
The inlet hoses on the back of the appliance are colour coded. Connect the hose with blue printed text to the cold water supply and the hose with red printed text to the hot water supply.
Before connecting the hoses be sure to fit the washers supplied.
If only a cold water supply is availalbe connect the two hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a "Y" connection piece. (Available from your local D.I.Y. Store).
Water Drainage
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, with an internal diameter of approximately 38mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe. The hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the curve in the hose end is no more than 100cm and no less than 70cm above floor level. The upright standpipe should have a minimum, length of 30cm (12") from the bottom of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see diagram). Make sure that it is designed in such a way that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.
If you intend the drain hose from the washing machine to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and that the plug hole is not blocked. Use the plastic
