Fisher & Paykel WL4027G1 Installation Instructions Manual page 11

Drain hose
Carefully pull the drain hose out from the back of
1
the washer by pulling the exposed part of the hose
downwards and outwards.
To guide the drain hose over the tub / sink or
2
standpipe the hose guide MUST be fitted to the
drain hose.
Important!
To prevent siphoning the drain hose should not
extend more than ¾" (20 mm) from the end of the
guide. The height of the standpipe or tub / sink
should be between 33 ½" to 95" (850 – 2413 mm).
The drain hose can be trimmed to length.
Place the drain hose in the tub / sink or standpipe.
3
Do not fit the hose to a drain spigot. Drainage must
not be airtight in order to prevent siphoning.
Important!
In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor installation, the washer should be installed on a
■ ■
floor or a tray that is equipped with a drain.
Check that the tub or standpipe is free from lint or other obstructions before operating the washer.
■ ■
In a basement installation do not exceed a standpipe height of 96" (2438 mm).

Inlet hoses
Important!
New hose sets provided with the washer shall be used
■ ■
to connect the washer to the water mains.
Old hose sets should not be re-used.
■ ■
Install hoses with the straight end (with filters) fitted
1
to the faucets (refer to Fig.4).
Install elbow ends of hoses onto clothes washer
2
(inlet valves are marked on the back of the washer
H=hot, C=cold) (refer to Fig.5). Ensure the hot valve
is connected to the hot faucet and the cold valve is
connected to the cold faucet.
Inlet hose replacement
We recommend the inlet hoses are changed every 5 years. Hoses should also be checked from
time to time and replaced if any wear, cuts, bulges, kinks or leaks are found. WARNING!: Failure to
do so may result in a flood and damage to property.
