Electrical And Plumbing Connections; To Fit The Tap For Purified Water - Electrolux RO 400 User Manual

Electrical and plumbing connections

The illustration reproduced in Fig. C is also to be found
on the rear of the appliance, to show how the various
connections should be made.
The RO 400 is connected to the cold water supply
(temperature range 2 - 40 °C) via a polyethylene feed hose
(3). The cold water pipe should have a valve easily
accessible for shutting off the supply, see Fig. D. If the
appliance is being connected to new pipes or pipes which
have been out of use for some time, the water should be
allowed to run for a while before you connect the hose.
This will prevent the appliance intake filter (referred to here
as the "grid") from getting blocked by sand or rust. The
appliance has two outward water hoses. The purified water
is taken via the purified water hose (1) to a separate tap,
while the reject water is connected directly to a waste pipe
via the reject water hose (2).
The water purifier must be connected to an earthed
electrical supply (230 V, 50 Hz, 10 A). We recommend
use of a plug-in connection to a wall socket, since certain
procedures such as replacing filters and preparing the
appliance for storage if it will not be used for a time
require the power supply to be disconnected, then
reconnected. Using an electrical plug also makes it easier
to move the appliance.

To fit the tap for purified water

Avoid cutting the hose for purified water, even if it is too
long. If it must be cut, do so with a very sharp knife,
such as a Stanley knife, making sure that the cut is
straight and clean, and that the hose is not deformed by
cutting, see Fig. E. It is important to observe these
points to ensure that the connection will be fully
watertight. Install the two hose inserts, one at each end
of the hose for purified water.
E
1 Mark the centre of the place where the purified water tap
is to be installed. Make sure that there is enough room
below the worktop for the hose supplying the tap to be
attached beneath this point.
2 Drill a 16 mm hole.
3 Remove the small section of protective tubing and install
the main tap pipe on the tap assembly.
Install the whole tap on the worktop/sink bench as
shown in Fig. F1. The worktop or bench must be no
thicker than 35 mm. Screw the quick connector fitting
onto the main thread protruding from the bottom of the
tap assembly. Then press the end of the purified water
hose all the way home into this quick connector, as far as
the line marked on the hose (about 17 mm), see Fig. F2.
