Installation instructions
If you have an uncontrolled water heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating system) you
should fit a Hot ‘N’ Safe Valve. This will ensure the hot water temperature remains within safe limits.
Hot ‘N’ Safe Valves available are:
RMC TVA 50HF
RMC TVA 75HFS
Adjustable between 35°C – 55°C
RMC TVA 50HP
For instantaneous gas hot water supply
Water supply requirements:
Inlet water pressure: Maximum 1 MPa (150 psi), Minimum 30 kPa (4.5 psi)
Inlet water flow rate: Minimum 6 litres / minute
Cold supply only:
If you only have a cold water supply, the inlet valve cap (blanking cap) which came with your
washer must be connected to the hot inlet valve. The cap prevents water leaking out of the hot
valve. This appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with AS3500.1. No further
backflow protection is required for connection to the water supply.
Note: your washer has an internal heater to heat water. If you do not connect a hot water inlet
hose, your washer will automatically recognise there is no hot water supply and its internal
heater will heat the cold water to the required cycle temperature.
Draining
Drain hose placement
1
To guide the drain hose over the tub or standpipe
the hose guide must be fitted to the drain hose.
The height of the standpipe or tub should be
between 800 – 1200mm.
2
Secure the hose guide so it cannot become
dislodged from the standpipe or tub.
Important!
If the drain hose is placed on the ground or if the
standpipe or tub is less than 800 mm high, the
washing machine will continuously drain while
being filled (siphon).
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.
The drain hoses should be checked from time to time and replaced if any damage (eg wear, cuts,
bulges, kinks, leaks, etc) is found. Do not bend the drain hose sharply, as this may cause it to split.
In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the machine should be installed on a floor
equipped with a drain.
Draining must comply with local by-laws.
