INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Your new Zanussi washing
machine has been designed to
be permanently plumbed in
to your home's water supply
and drainage system. How¬
ever, if this is not possible, it
may be connected to suitable
existing taps, with the drain
hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has two inlet
valves, hot and cold, with
female 3/4"
BSP thread
connectors. If this connection
size 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
alterations to your existing
plumbing must be carried out
by a competent person, or
qualified plumber.

The inlets on the back of
the appliance are colour
coded, blue for cold, red for
hot.
Before connecting the
hoses be sure to fit the mesh
filters
supplied
as
per
diagram.
If only a cold water supply
is available, connect the two
hoses to a cold water outlet
by means of a «Y» connection
piece.
Installation should comply
with local water authority
and building regulations'
requirements.
The appliance must be
given a separate cold water
supply and not be connected
to a mixer tap, a single outlet
water heater or a booster
pump. A minimum water
pressure of 7 psi 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
distance of 5.02 m (I
6
V
2
ft)
between the appliance's inlet
and the bottom of the tank.
There will be sufficient
pressure for the hot water
supply from the hot water
cylinder
if
the
height
between the appliance's inlet
and the bottom of the cold
water storage cistern (not
between the appliance and
hot water cylinder) is at least
2.74 m (9 ft).

Set the hoses correctly by
loosening the ring nut. After
positioning the inlet hoses be
sure to tighten the ring nut
again to prevent leaks.
