Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed
into your home's water supply and drainage system.
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe,
the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic
“U-Piece” supplied.
The standpipe should have an internal diameter of
approximately 38mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there
is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of
the curve in the hose end is no more than 90cm (35.4'')
and no less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level. The
upright standpipe should have a minimum length of
30cm (12'') from the bottom of the elbow to the top of
the pipe (see diagram).
Make sure that it is designed in such a way, that the end
of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece
is available from your local Service Force Centre.
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of
18mm.

Water inlet
Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread.
Always use the hose supplied with the appliance to
connect to the water supply.
Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be connected to a cold water
supply.
A minimum water pressure of 50 kPa (0.5 bar) is
required for safe operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct
from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the
appliance from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m
(161/2 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom
of the water storage tank.
Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After
positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut
again to prevent leaks.
