Water Inlet; Water Drainage - John Lewis JLBIWM 1402 Instruction Manual

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

The inlet hose is screwed on the back of the appliance.
Important!
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the
hose to the left or right depending on the position of
your water tap.
Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut.
1.
After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten
the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
The appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.
Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread. The
2
inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short
and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have
to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for
this type of use.
Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations' requirements.
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
the "U" piece" supplied.
Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should
have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus
ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose
and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top
of the standpipe is no more than 90cm (35.4'') and no
less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is
available from your local Service Force Centre. The
joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18mm.
