Zanussi FC800 Instruction Booklet page 8

Replace the 8 small screws, Fig. 6.
(Small screws marked 'B).
Plug the 4 holes with the 4 plastic plugs
which you can find on the back of the
machine or in the envelope containing
the instruction booklet. Fig. 7.
Your new Zanussi washing machine has
been designed to be permanently plumbed
in to your home's water supply and
drainage system.
However, if this is not possible, it may be
connected to suitable existing taps, with
the drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has two inlet valves, hot
and cold, with female 3/4" BSP thread
connectors. If this connection size 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 inlets on the back of the appliance are
colour coded, blue for cold, red for hot.
Before connecting the hoses be sure to fit
the mesh filters supplied, see Fig. 8.
If only a cold water supply is available,
connect the two hoses to cold water
outlet by means of a 'Y' connection
piece.
Installation should comply with local water
authority and building regulations'
requirements.
The appliance must not be connected to a
mixer tap, a single outlet water heater or a
booster pump. A minimum water pressure
of 5 psi is required for 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 distance of
3.6m (12ft) between the appliance's inlet
and the bottom of the tank.
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot
water supply from the hot water cylinder if
the height between the appliance's inlet and
the bottom of the cold water storage tank
(not between the appliance and the hot
water cylinder) is at least 3.6m (12ft).
