How to install the drain hose

Flooding drainage
• Your machine requires a floor drainage slope (or floor waste)that will SAFELY DISPOSE of the FULL
FLOW of any water that may leak out should the machine malfunction.
It is therefore the OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY to make sure this machine is installed in an area with a
drain hole (or slope)that will prevent any possibility of water damage to floor coverings or property.
Connect the inlet hose
• Check that sealing washers are firmly seated.
• Attach the curved end of the hose to the inlet valve of the
washing machine;
Tighten the coupling nuts securely by hand.(Fig.1)
• Attach the straight end of the hose to the tap.
Tighten the coupling nuts securely by hand.(Fig.2)
• Either hose can be attached to hot inlet valve and tap.
• Turn on the taps and check for leaks.Tighten the
coupling nuts firmly if there is any leakage.If water
pressure is strong,close the water tap completely then
open it slightly.
Caution
• Do not install the washer where it is directily exposed to sunlight, wind, rain, etc.
• Plug the power cord of this washer into a properly installed 240 volt 50Hz. power point that is switched & earthed.
• Permissible water temperature : Max 60˚C(140˚F)
• Permissible water pressure : Max 87 psi (600 kPa, 6.0 kg/cm
• If water temperature & pressure is greater than above, it may cause damage and malfunction to the machine and to
the inlet and drain hoses attached to it. If ou have uncontrolled water temperature & pressure you should fit a
temperature & pressure relief valve to ensure that water temperature & water pressure remains within the safe limits.
Consult a plumber or electrician if you are unable to adjust water temperature and pressure.
• Do not over tighten the coupling nuts with a tool. Inlets plastic : Do not strip or crossthread.
1. Fit the machine end of the drain hose to the outlet of the
drain pump and tighten the clamp.
2. Put the other end of the drain hose over the standpipe or
wash tub. The drain hose must be installed as per the Note
below to avoid syphoning out whilst it is filling with water.
3. Fit the plastic holder into the holes located at either side of
the rear of the machine. The holder will fit in either
direction accordign to location of the standpipe. Make sure
that the holder holds the drain hose firmly so that the
drain hose does not hang down as shown in the fig.
NOTE
• To prevent syphoning, the drain hose should not extend more
than 50 mm from the end of the hose guide.
• The discharge height should be approximately 0.9~1.2m from
the floor.
