Note: All flexible hose connections to be secured with 'Jubilee Clips'
It is best to avoid temporary connections where possible. When the appliance runs from sink taps, it can
mean that you are unable to use the sink for over an hour while the appliance completes a programme. In
addition, very hot water will be discharged from the drain hose into the sink and this could be a safety hazard,
especially if you have children close by.
If you must make a temporary connection, be sure that you check the condition of your tap and
keep children away from the discharge area.
The closing of the water valve in automatic appliances is instantaneous and will cause back pressure to the
tap. It is therefore essential that your taps are in good condition or they may leak during use. Even though
your taps may be adequate for everyday use, it is advisable to check the spindle sealing gland of the tap
before connecting your appliance for the first time. To do this, connect the appliance fill hoses to the tap using
your chosen adaptor, making sure the hose sealing washer is in place. If water escapes from the top of the
tap, the gland may need tightening or replacing.
Tap adapters
Tap adapters are available to fit the majority of tap designs. Always ensure that the mesh filter is correctly
positioned in the fill hose coupling. These taps are normally fitted with
