Cold water con-
nection
28
The machine should be connected with a suitably rated plug and
socket in accordance with IEC 60309-1 or hard wired. For a hard
wired connection an all-pole isolation device must be installed.
For hard-wired machines connection should be made via a suitable
mains switch with all-pole isolation which, when in the off position,
ensures a 3 mm gap between all open contacts. These include circuit
breakers, fuses and relays (IEC/EN 60947).
If the mains supply cannot be permanently disconnected, the isolator
switch (including plug and socket) must be safeguarded against being
switched on either unintentionally or without authorisation.
If it is necessary to install a residual current device (RCD) in accord-
ance with local regulations, a residual current device type B (sensitive
to universal current) must be used.
An existing type A residual current device (RCD) must be exchanged
for a type B RCD.
If local and national installation specifications require equipotential
bonding, good galvanic contact must be guaranteed. Equipotential
bonding must have an earth current rating > 10 mA.
Water connection
For compliance to Regulation 4 of the water regulations guide please
fit the supplied double check valves to the on-site water supplies for
each inlet hose used. The non-return valve prevents water from the
water inlet hose from flowing back into the on-site drinking water
supply.
Non-return valves are supplied.
The flow pressure must amount to a minimum of 100 kPa and must
not exceed 1000 kPa. If the flow pressure is higher than 1000 kPa, a
pressure reducing valve must be used.
The machine must be connected to the water supply using the inlet
hoses provided.
The connection points are subject to water supply pressure.
Turn on the stopcock slowly and check for leaks. Correct the posi-
tion of the seal and screw thread if appropriate.
For the cold water connection one stopcock each with a ¾" screw
thread is required.
If a water connection is not available, only a qualified installer may
connect the washing machine to the mains water supply.
The water inlet hose for cold water is not suitable for connection to
a hot water supply.
In the event that hot water is not available on site, a cold water supply
must be used for the hot water connection.
The required amount of hot water should be added to the cold water
volume.
