Installation

Water Connection

Caution

1. The washing machine must only be operated

with cold and hot (max. 140°F//60°C) tap water.

Do not connect the appliance to the mixer tap of an

unpressured hot-water boiler.

2. To prevent water damage, the hot and cold water

valves should be accessible when the washer is in

place and should always be turned off when the

washer is not in use.

! Remember: please use the new hoses supplied,

fitted to the machine. Old hoses may cause leaks due

to worn out washers or may be split due to water

pressure.

Connecting the water inlet hoses

Included in the accessories supplied with the machine

are 2 inlet hoses and 4 rubber washers. The straight end

of these hoses should be connected to the supply.
The 90° angled end of these hoses should be connected

to the inlet valves on the back of the machine to make a

water tight seal on each connection (see below figure).
The couplings should be tightened by hand, a tool should

only be used if a leak occurs. Do not use excessive

force.
Repair or replacement of a part should be made only by

a qualified service technician to prevent personal injury or

damage to the machine. Inlet valves are color coded:

Red = Hot / White = Cold

Connection.

1. Screw the cold water

fill hose (C blue connector)

onto the cold water supply

until tight.

2. Turn on the cold water

supply and check for

leaks, tighten if necessary.

3. Screw the hot water fill

hose (H red connector)

onto the hot water supply until tight.

4. Turn on the hot water supply and check for leaks,

tighten if necessary.

Drainage Connection

Standpipe Diameter/Capacity. Needs a 1

1/4

minimum

diameter standpipe with a minimum carry-away capacity of

7 gallons per minute.
Top of Standpipe. Must be between 25 - 34 inches (62-

86 cm) high measured from the bottom of the machine.
Outlet End of Drain Hose (provided with the unit).

Must be at least 20 above the bottom of the washer. An

air break must be available at the standpipe to avoid

siphoning. No more than 6 of the drain hose should be

inserted into the drain pipe to prevent siphoning.

! Although you may need to move the hooked end support

along the grey drainage hose,, DO NOT remove it.
! Whichever draining method you use, make sure that the

hooked end support is fixed level to, or above the

Plumbing Indicator Line.

You should carefully position the drain hose to avoid

kinks and ensure proper drainage of the water.

The outlet end of the drain hose must be at least 25 (62

cm) above the base machine. At this point it s possible

for the water to be discharged into a sink or drain pipe, but

an air break must be available at this 24 height to prevent

the machine from syphoning (see figures page 8).

No more than 6 of the drain hose should be inserted

in the drain pipe.

Important.

Make sure that the drain hose is not kinked and the

water flow has not been restricted.

The machine must rest solid on a sturdy floor for

optimum performance and minimum vibration.

Hints and tips

! Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the

hose.
! The water pressure at the supply tap must be

within the values indicated in the Technical

details table (see table on page 4).

Always use a new inlet hose.

Check the water inlet hose at least once a year,

replace if cracked as worn hoses could split under

water pressure.

Do not overtighten. The couplings should be

tightened by hand; a tool should only be used if a

leak occurs. Do not use excessive force.
