Water supply
■
■
This washer must be plumbed into both a hot and cold water supply or it will not work correctly.
Please ensure that both hot and cold water are connected to the washer.
■
■
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 static pressure: Min. 5psi (34kPa) to Max. 150psi (1MPa) is required.
■
■
Minimum flow rate from the faucet supplying the clothes washer should be greater than
1 ½ gallons/min (6 liters/min) (assumes ½” (12.7 mm) diameter pipes).
Note: your washer does not have an internal water heater to heat water.
Draining
■
■
Regularly check that your standpipe or tub/sink is free from lint or other obstructions, which may
affect how your washer works or may cause flooding.
■
■
In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the washer should be installed on floor equipped
with a drain.
■
■
Draining must comply with local by-laws.
Important!
If you are using an extension cord or a portable electrical outlet device (eg multi-socket outlet
box), ensure that it is positioned so that it does not come into contact with water or moisture.
