INSTALLATION

Unpacking

Before starting the machine up, the transport security
bolts must be removed as follows:
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in
case the appliance has to be transported again.
1. Unscrew and remove the
three rear transit bolts
(using a spanner).
2. Lay the machine gently
on its back, making sure
that the hoses are not
squashed.
We suggest a
polystyrene angle
bracket from the packing
is placed on the floor
before tilting it back to
avoid the hoses being
squashed.
3. Carefully remove the
polythene bags located
at the base of the
machine by pulling them
toward the centre of the
machine.
4. Place the machine in an
upright position and
remove the three plastic
bolts.
5. Plug the 3 holes with the
plastic plugs which you
can find in the envelope
containing the instruction
booklet.

Positioning

Your new Zanussi washing machine has been designed to
be permanently plumbed in to you homeÕs 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 the sink.
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with
female 3/4Ó 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.

Water inlet

The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded,
blue for cold and red for hot.
with local water authority and building regulation
requirements.
The appliance must be given a separate cold water supply
and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single outlet water
heater or a booster pump. A minimum water pressure or
7psi 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 5.02m (16 1/2ft)
between the applianceÕs 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
applianceÕs inlet and the bottom of the cold water storage
cistern (not between the appliance and the hot water
cylinder) is at least 2.74m (9ft).
Set the hoses correctly by loosening the ring nuts. After
positioning the inlet hoses, be sure to tighten the ring nuts
again to prevent leaks.

Water drainage

diameter of at least 40mm (1 1/2Ó) in order that there is an
air gap between the drain hose and the standpipe. Make
sure, that it is designed in such a way, that the end of the
drain hose cannot be covered with water.
Before connecting the
hoses, be sure to fit the
black washers supplied as
per diagram.
If only a cold water supply
is available, connect the
two hoses to a cold water
outlet by means of a ÔYÕ
connection piece.
Installation should comply
If you intend the drain hose
from the machine to empty
into a sink, make sure that
the sink is empty and that
the plug hole is not blocked.
If the machine is
permanently plumbed in,
hook the end of the hose
into a standpipe installed for
the purpose. The standpipe
must have an internal
