ElEctrical connEction:

max of 3 amps, and you can connect to a standard 13 amp supply.

WatEr connEctions

supplies. Connection is to a

" BSP (standard UK thread) tap or a 

stopcock to shut off the water supply, with a minimum water pressure 
of 15 PSI*. This is no different from a standard washer. It is important 
that you have a good supply of hot water, as the wash temperature is 
dependent on the temperature of the incoming water.**

notEs:
*   If either the hot or cold water pressure is low, the fill time will be 

extended, and some of the advantages of the very short wash 
cycles will be lost. Because the cycle includes a spray rinse, if 
the cold water pressure is low, there is no “spray” effect and the 
rinsing is not as effective.

 

  Operating the washer with low water pressures will result in poor 
wash and rinse performance.

 

 15 PSI means a water tank needs to be approximately 30 feet 
above the machine.

**   Wash Temperature; if the hot water pressure is very low and the 

cold water pressure is high, the “mixing” could result in a low 
wash temperature. Low water pressure is not wide spread, but 
if it does affect you, it can be overcome by fitting a “booster 
pump”. For more information call 0844 4990101. When prompted 
by the automated voice response system, select the option for 
“consumer”, then select option #4. 

Drain connEctions
This is a large capacity washer and requires a slightly larger drain 
hose than normal. On standard washers the drain hose is normally 
placed into a 1-

need a 2" stand pipe (or you could place it directly into a suitable sink 
if preferred).
