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
(161/2 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom
of the water storage tank.
Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After
positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut
again to prevent leaks.
Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed
into your home's water supply and drainage system.
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe,
the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic
“U-Piece” supplied.
The standpipe should have an internal diameter of
approximately 38mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there
is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of
the curve in the hose end is no more than 90cm (35.4'')
and no less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level. The
upright standpipe should have a minimum length of
30cm (12'') from the bottom of the elbow to the top of
the pipe (see diagram).
Make sure that it is designed in such a way, that the end
of the drain hose cannot be covered with water. 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.
If you intend the drain hose to empty into a sink, make
sure that the sink is empty and the plug hole is not
blocked. Use the plastic “U-Piece” supplied.
Important
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or
to pipework that has not been used for some time, run
off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris
that may have collected in the pipes.
