Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not
impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine
does not touch the wall or other kitchen units.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under
the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.
Your new machine has been designed to be permanently
plumbed in to your home's water supply and drainage
system. However, 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 hoses, hot and cold, with
female 3/4" BSP thread connectors. If this connection 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 alteration to your existing
plumbing must be carried out by a competent person, or
qualified plumber.
Installation on a Suspended Floor
Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you
place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick
under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams
with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of
the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

Water inlet

The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded,
blue for cold and red for hot.
Before connecting the hoses be sure to fit the mesh
filters «A» supplied as per diagram.
P0003
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.
