INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Before starting the machine up, the transport security bolts must be removed as follows:
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in case the appliance has to be transported again.
1. Unscrew and remove the three rear transit bolts (using a spanner).
2. Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the hoses are not squashed.
We suggest a polystyrene angle bracket from the packing is placed on the floor before tilting it back to avoid the hoses being squashed.
3. Carefully remove the polythene bags located at the base of the machine by pulling them toward the centre of the machine.
4. Place the machine in an upright position and remove the three plastic bolts.
5. Plug the 3 holes with the plastic plugs which you can find in the envelope containing the instruction booklet.
Positioning
Your new Tricity Bendix washing machine has been designed to be permanently plumbed in to you home’s water supply and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it may be connected to suitable existing taps, with the drain hose discharging into the sink.
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. 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 alterations to your existing plumbing must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified plumber.
Water inlet
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded, blue for cold and red for hot.
Before connecting the hoses, be sure to fit the black washers supplied as per diagram.
If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a ‘Y’ connection piece.
Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulation requirements.
The appliance must be given a separate cold water supply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single outlet water heater or a booster pump. A minimum water pressure or 7psi is required for safe operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appliance from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16 1/2ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the tank.
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water supply from the hot water cylinder if the height between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the cold water storage cistern (not between the appliance and the hot water cylinder) is at least 2.74m (9ft).
Set the hoses correctly by loosening the ring nuts. After positioning the inlet hoses, be sure to tighten the ring nuts again to prevent leaks.
Water drainage
If you intend the drain hose from the machine to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and that the plug hole is not blocked.
If the machine is
permanently plumbed in,
hook the end of the hose
into a standpipe installed for
the purpose. The standpipe must have an internal
diameter of at least 40mm (1 1/2”) in order that there is an air gap between the drain hose and the standpipe. Make sure, that it is designed in such a way, that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.

Important
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.
500 mm min
850 mm max
40 mm inside dia min
500 mm min
850 mm max
Whether discharging into a sink or a standpipe, check that the end of the drain hose is neither too high nor too low. The top of the curve in the hose’s end should be no more than 85 cm (34”) and no less than 50 cm (20”) above floor level.
Levelling
Level the washing machine by loosening or tightening the feet. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displacement of the machine during operation. After levelling the machine, secure the feet by tightening the ring nuts with the aid of a screwdriver.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible, always place the machine on a solid floor.
Special conditions
If the floor is carpeted with a deep-pile carpet or covered with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of the machine.
Warning
The machine should NOT be placed directly on deep pile carpeting.
Note
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.
All plumbing and electrical work required to install this appliance must be carried out by competent persons or qualified plumbers or electricians.
IN THE INTEREST OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Washing machines and dishwashers should be connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before being discharged safely into a river.
It is essential that these appliances are not connected to the surface water drainage system as this water is discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause pollution.
If you require any further advice please contact your local authority drainage department.
