Water supply
■
■
For best operating conditions your hot water should be approximately 65°C. Your hot water
should not exceed 75°C or your cold water exceed 35°C. Temperatures above these may cause
the machine to 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. 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 pressure: Max. 1MPa (150 psi) Min. 34Pa (5 psi)

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 drained floor.

Draining must comply with local by-laws.
