Installation Instructions

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)

■

Inlet water flow rate: Min. 3 litres/min

■

Minimum height of taps to clear the top of the machine is 1150mm.

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.

Autowasher Safety

■

This autowasher is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

■

Your

Intuitive
