Connecting To The Water Supply - Hotpoint Aquarius WD420P Service Information

Connecting to the Water Supply

WARNINGS:
The temperature of the hot water supply
should ideally be 60°C and no higher than
70°C as this could cause damage to the
laundry and the machine. Applies to
products produced prior to Date Code 40.
Do not connect the machine to a single
outlet instantaneous water heater.
The hot and cold water pressure should be
between 3 and 150 psi (21 - 1034 kPa).
Incorrect pressures could lead to flooding.
The water supply taps should be accessible
when the machine is installed.
Before connecting the fill hoses, check that
water is running from the water supply taps
you will use for the machine.
Connect the washing machine to the water
supply using the fill hoses fitted to the
machine.
Do not use old hoses.
Hot & Cold Fill - Cold fill only from D.C. 40
1 Unclip the grey and blue fill hoses from
the back of the machine.
2 Connect the free end of the grey fill hose
to the HOT water supply (see figure1).
Connect the free end of the blue fill hose
to the COLD water supply.
3 Turn on the water supply and check for
leaks. If there is a leak, turn off the water
supply, remove the connector and check
that the sealing washer is in place.
Refit the connector and tighten it.
Turn on the water supply.
4 When moving the machine into its final
position, make sure that the hoses are not
trapped or kinked.

If the fill hoses are too short:
Longer fill hoses are available. Remove the
existing fill hoses from the inlet valves on the
back of the machine and fit the new longer fill
hoses as shown above with the angled ends
of the hoses connected to the machine
(see Fig. 2).
If no hot water supply is available or the hot
water pressure is low, a cold fill adaptor
(Fig. 3) and fitting instructions are available.
Applies to products produced prior to D.C. 40.
