The other end of the hose which is
connected to the appliance can be turned
in any direction by first loosening the
ring nut
Once the hose has been re-positioned, this
must be re-tightened to prevent leakages.
Installation should comply with local
water authority and building regulations'
requirements.
The appliance must be given a separate
cold water supply and not be connected to
mixer taps, a single outlet water heater or
a booster pump.
A minimum water pressure of 7 psi is
required for the 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 of
5.02 m (16,5 ft) between the appliance's
inlet and the bottom of the tank.
If you are operating the appliance on the
minimum pressure of 7 psi, it may fill
slowly. This flow can be increased by
removing the small restrictor contained
within the inlet valve. In order to remove
the restrictor, first turn the water off and
unplug the appliance. Disconnect the
water supply hose from the inlet valve,
and pull out the mesh filter inside the
valve. Remove the restrictor (which is a
small round washer) with the aid of thin¬
nosed pliers.
Replace mesh filter and re-fit hose.
Where the machine is permanently
plumbed in, hook the end of the hose into
a standpipe installed for the purpose.
It should have an internal diameter of at
least 38mm (1 >") thus leaving an air gap
between hose and pipe, and should be
designed in such a way that the water
level within it never covers the end of
the hose.
Important
Before connecting up the machine to
new pipework or to pipework that has
not been used for some time, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out
any debris that may have collected in the
pipes.
