Connecting to the cold water supply

This machine has an inlet hose with a 19mm
(3/4") threaded ferrule fitted to the end, to
attach between the threaded connector on the
appliance and the water supply.
Only use the new hose supplied to connect the
machine and ensure that the sealing washers are
in place inside the hose connectors.
Do not re-use old hoses which are attached to
existing installations.
Do not over-tighten the connections. Hand tight
is sufficient.
Do not trap or kink the hose.
1. Connect the elbow end of the hose provided
to the threaded inlet on the back of the
machine.
Grey pipe to the white threaded inlet on
the machine.
2. Hand tighten the connector.
3. Connect the straight ends of the pipes to
the water supply; ensure that there are no
kinks.
4. Turn on the water supply and check for
leaks. If there is a leak, turn off the water
supply, disconnect the hose and check the
sealing washers are in place. Refit the hose
and turn on the water supply.
Aqua-stop
Certain models will be supplied with special hose
that has a double skin and incorporates a water
valve (A). If the inner hose bursts the valve will
automatically shut off the water supply to
prevent flooding. The indicator turns red (B).
Should this happen, turn off the water supply
immediately and obtain a replacement hose from
GIAS Service.
The installation is the same as a conventional
hose with the valve end of the aqua-stop hose
fitted to the water supply.
