Water inlet
There should be a COLD WATER tap near the
washing machine with a screwing on
connection pipe of 3/4" for the water supply, a
sink, a wash basin or a drainage system in the
wall.
Previously check if:
- it is not a hot water tap.
- the running water is clean. If not, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have collected in the pipes.
Have the permanent drainage system in the
wall checked by a plumber.
1. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4”

thread. Always use the hose supplied with
the appliance. The inlet hose must not be
lengthened. If it is too short and you do not
wish to move the tap, you will have to
purchase a new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.

NOTE
Installation should
comply with local
water authority and
building regulations’
requirements.

2. If necessary turn the hose adequately by

unscrewing the nut at the rear of the
appliance. Now tighten the nut anew to
avoid leaks. (Open the tap and assure that
it does not leak and close it again.)

The appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa (0.5
bar) 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 5.02m
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the
bottom of the water storage tank.

Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently
plumbed into your home's drainage system
using one of the following methods.

1. Into a drainage standpipe.

Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain
hose using the «U» piece supplied. Place the
drain hose into your standpipe, which should
have an internal diameter of approximately
38mm thus ensuring there is an air break
between the drain hose and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that
the top of the standpipe is no more than 90
cm (35.4'') and no less than 60 cm (23.6'')
above floor level.
