• hose guide.
• inlet hoses.
• rubber foot inserts (if not already inserted into the feet).
Drain hose
1. Carefully pull the drain hose out from the back of
the machine by pulling the exposed part of the
hose downwards and outwards.
2. To guide the drain hose over the tub or standpipe
the hose guide MUST be fitted to the drain hose.
To prevent siphoning the
drain hose should not
extend more than 20 mm
from the end of the guide.
The height of the standpipe
or tub should be between
850 – 2400 mm. The drain
hose can be trimmed to
length.
3. Place the drain hose in the tub or standpipe.
Do not fit the hose to a drain spigot. Drainage must
not be airtight in order to prevent siphoning.

Draining
• Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint or other obstructions which may affect how your
machine works or may cause flooding.
• In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor the machine should be installed on a floor that is equipped with a
drain.
• Draining must comply with local by-laws.

• This clothes washer should be plumbed into both a hot and cold water supply otherwise some cycles may not
function correctly.
Your washer does not have an internal heater to heat water.
• Your hot water should not exceed 65 C and your cold water should not exceed 35 C. Temperatures above these
may cause a fault or cause damage to the machine.
• If you have an uncontrolled water-heating source (eg a wet back or solar heating) you should have a tempering
device fitted (eg a safe valve). This will ensure the hot water temperature remains within safe limits. For the most
suitable type of tempering device we recommend you contact a local plumber or plumbing supply merchant.
• Inlet Water Static Pressure of between 34 kPa (5 psi) and 1 MPa (150 psi) is required.
• Minimum flow rate from the tap supplying the clothes washer should be greater than 6 litres / min (assumes 12.7
mm ( inch) diameter pipes).
Hot ‘N’ Safe Valves available are:
RMC TVA 50HF
RMC TVA 75HFS
Adjustable between 35°C – 55°C
RMC TVA 50HP
For instantaneous gas hot water supply
Inlet hoses
• New hose sets provided with the washer shall be used to connect the washer to the water
mains.
• Old hose sets should not be re-used.
