Installation instructions
Draining
Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint or other obstructions which may
affect how your machine works or may cause flooding.
In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor the machine should be installed on a floor that is
equipped with a drain.
Draining must comply with local by-laws.
Water supply
This clothes washer should be plumbed into both
a hot and cold water supply otherwise some cycles
may not function correctly.
Note: your washer does not have an internal heater
to heat water.
Your hot water should not exceed 65˚C and your
cold water should not exceed 35˚C. Temperatures
above these may cause a fault or cause damage to
the machine.
If you have an uncontrolled water-heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating) you should
have a tempering device fitted (eg a safe valve). This will ensure the hot water temperature
remains within safe limits. For the most suitable type of tempering device we recommend you
contact a local plumber or plumbing supply merchant.
Inlet Water Static Pressure of between 34 kPa (5 psi) and 1 MPa (150 psi) is required.
Minimum flow rate from the tap supplying the clothes washer should be greater than
6 litres / min (assumes 12.7 mm (½ inch) diameter pipes).
Inlet hoses
Important!
New hose sets provided with the washer shall be used to connect the washer to the water mains.
Old hose sets should not be re-used.
1
Connect the straight ends of the inlet hoses to the taps (there
are washers fitted in both ends). Connect the red connector hose
to hot, and white connector hose to cold (if your hoses
are colour-coded).
2
Connect the elbow ends of the inlet hoses to the machine inlet
valves. Inlet valves are marked on the back of the machine.
Ensure the hot valve is connected to the hot tap and the cold
valve is connected to the cold tap.
H = Hot C = Cold
Inlet hose replacement
The inlet hoses should be replaced every 5 years. Hoses should be checked from time to time
and replaced if any wear, cuts, bulges, kinks or leaks are found.
Electrical
This appliance must be supplied with a 220 V – 240 V, 50 Hz, sinusoidal, 10 A electrical supply.
