The water supply taps must be easily accessible when the appliance is installed. Your taps should be in good condition or it may leak when turned full on. Mixer taps are unsuitable, if you have them you will need to use permanent plumbing. Adaptors are required to connect to sink taps.

Permanent Plumbing

There must be taps or stopcocks so that the water supply can be turned off, isolating the appliance from the household supply.

Existing Plumbing

If you have an existing installation please check that this includes taps or stopcocks to isolate the appliance. The appliance must be connected to the water supply using

the new hose set supplied,old hose sets should not be used.

Removing the Polystyrene Pyramid

After removing the packaging from the machine, ensure that the polystyrene pyramid (shown at the side) has come away from the underside of the machine, with the polystyrene base.

If it has not come away,remove it by tilting the machine backwards until the pyramid can

be seen and then remove.

● Do not remove hooked end support from drainage hose.

● Do not position standpipe near an electrical outlet.

For drainage into a standard work top sink ensure outlet pipe has a minimum bore of 32 mm. To avoid syphoning ensure the end of the drainage hose is above the water level in the sink. If your sink is inset, the front edge of the basin must be less than 75 mm from the front edge of your work top.
