Water connection
Water inlet hose: if a cold water tap
having a 3/4" gas thread spout is
available, the inlet hose fitted with the
rubber sealing washer (supplied with
the machine) should be connected as
shown (fig. 4).
IMPORTANT: To obtain the best
washing results, it is necessary to use
the cold water supply only.
If the water connection is made onto
new pipes or onto pipes which have not
been used for a long time, it is
advisable to run'off a certain amount
of water before connecting the
machine. This will avoid foreign matter
blocking the filters placed at the end of
the water inlet hose.
Water outlet connection
The drain pipe from this machine must
connect into the main drain from the
premises, but not into the rainwater
drain.
Information as to the type of drain
servicing your premises can be
obtained from a builder or the Local
Authority.
The curved end of the outlet hose
should be firmly hooked over the edge
4
of a sink or connected to a suitable
drain pipe in the wall or under the sink;
however, such a drain pipe should
have a built-in air break in order to
avoid water syphoning from the
machine during draining.
The top of the drain hose (curved end)
should not be lower than 50 cms (20
ins) or higher than 85 cms (34 ins) from
floor level (fig. 5).
The water should be able to drain
freely and the end of the outlet hose
must not be under water.
It is, therefore, advisable that the drain
pipe, if used, has an internal diameter
of at least 4 cms (1,5 ins).
Also, ensure that the drain hose is not
choked or placed in such a way as to
obstruct the normal water flow.
If the drain hose is to be hooked over
the sink, ensure that the sink is empty
and that the sink plug is not blocking
the plug hole.
If an extension is required, its inner
diameter must be the same as that of
the original hose of the washer and its
length must not exceed 2 metres (6 ft).
Plumbed installation
It is important that work is carried out
by a qualified plumber.
