Plumbing in
Your new washing machine has been designed
to be permanently plumbed in to your home’s
water supply and drainage system. However, if
this is not possible, it may be connected to a
suitable existing tap with the drain hose
discharging into a sink.
The appliance has an inlet hose, with female
3/4” BSP thread connector. If this connection is
not compatible with the plumbing of the existing
installation, a variety of connectors are available
from good hardware stores and plumbers
merchants to suit most domestic plumbing. Any
alteration to your existing plumbing must be
carried out by a competent person, or qualified
plumber.

2. 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. Always use the hose supplied with
the appliance.
3. Connect the water inlet hose supplied with
the machine to a tap with a 3/4" thread.
Installation should comply with local water
authority and building regulations’
requirements.
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is
too short and you do not wish to move the tap,
you will have to purchase a new, longer hose
specially designed for this type of use.
Special conditions
