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.
10
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.
The internal heater in the
appliance will then heat the
water
to
the
required
temperature.
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 hose correctly by
loosening the ring nut. After
positioning the inlet hose, be
sure to tighten the ring nut
again to prevent leaks.
