The appliance must be connected to a cold water
supply.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) is

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 90cm (35.4'') and no less
than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is
available from your local Service Force Centre.
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of
18mm.
