Installation & testing

40000248.qxd 31-07-03 21:24 Page 6

Note: we recommend you keep the transit bracket and

screws to protect the machine for future transit.

The Manufacturers will not be responsible for any

damage to the machine caused by not following the

instructions relating to releasing the transit protection.

The user is responsible for all installation costs.

Connecting the fill hoses

This machine has inlet hoses with 19mm (3/4”) threaded ferrules fitted to the ends

to attach between the threaded connector on the appliance and the water supply.

Only use the new hoses supplied to connect the machine and ensure that

the sealing washers are in place inside the hose connectors.

Do not re-use old hoses which are attached to existing installations.

Do not over-tighten the connections. Hand tight is sufficient.

Do not trap or kink the hoses.

1. Connect the elbow end of hoses to

the back of the machine: red

connector (for hot water) to the red

threaded inlet, the white connector

(for the cold water) to the white

threaded inlet.

2. Connect the straight end of the

hoses to the stop taps.

If the inlet hose’s connection point is

changed, check that the 3/4” threaded

ferrule on the inlet hose is firmly

attached to the electrovalve connector. WHITE
