Included in the accessories supplied with this machine are 2
inlet hoses and 4 rubber washers. The straight end of these
hoses should be connected to the supply fig. 1.
The 90° angled end of these hoses should be connected to
the inlet valves on the back of the machine, using one of the
washers to make a water tight seal on each connection. The
couplings should be tightened by hand, a tool should only be
used if a leak occurs. Do not use excessive force (see M, fig.
1).
The inlet valves are color coded:
Red
Red

Red = Hot
White

White = Cold
It is possible to run the machine on a single faucet with cold
water only, but water must be supplied to each inlet valve. The
“Y“ connector allows a single water source to be split into the
two inlets at the rear of the appliance (see fig. 2).The “Y”
connector is part of the faucet available kit - available as an
accessory from Equator Parts 1-888-483-9627.
PLUMBING (Water Inlet)
You should carefully position the drain hose to avoid kinks
and ensure proper drainage of the water.
The outlet end of the drain hose must be at least 25” (62 cm)
above the base of the machine. At this point it is possible for
the water to be discharged into a sink or drain pipe, but an air
break must be available at this 24” height to prevent the machine
from syphoning (see fig. aside).
No more than 6” of the drain hose should be inserted in the
drain pipe.

PLUMBING (Water Out)
Connection to the water mains
Water pressure must range within the values indicated on the
data plate on the rear of your washer-dryer. If the water pipes are
new or left unused, then before connecting the machine run the
water until clear to remove debris. Connect the inlet hose to a
cold water tap having a ¾“ BSP thread. Ensure that there are
rubber washers are at each end of the inlet hose. The L-Shaped
end goes on the machine and straight ends on the water faucets

Note: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the
risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement
dates on the hoses for future reference.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear or leaks are found.
