Plumbing In; Water Inlet; Water Drainage - John Lewis JLWM1604 Instruction Manual

Plumbing In

Your new 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 a suitable existing tap with the
drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has an inlet hose, with female 3/4" BSP
thread connector. 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 alteration to your existing plumbing
must be carried out by a competent person, or
qualified plumber.

Water inlet

An inlet hose is supplied and can been found inside the
machine drum.
Do not use the hose from your previous washing
machine to connect to the water supply.
1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose .
2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to the
machine.
3. Remove the security gasket cup by turning and
pulling it away. Pay attention not to move or remove
the gasket.
Important!
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle
the hose to the left or right depending on the
position of your water tap.
4. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut.
After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the
ring nut again to prevent leaks.
5. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread.
Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.
The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device,
which protects against damage caused by water leaks in
the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of
the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the
window "A". Should this occur, turn the water tap off
and refer to your Service Centre to replace the hose.
Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations' requirements.
The appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.
A minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar 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 vertical distance of 5.02m
(16.5 ft) between the appliance's inlet and the bottom
of the water storage tank.

Water drainage

This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed
into your home's drainage system using one of the
following methods.
1. Into a drainage standpipe.
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using
