Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4" gas threaded orifice, after having inserted the rugger sealing washer into the hose collar. If the water connection is made onto new pipes or onto pipes which have not been used for a long time, it is advisable to run off a certain amount of water before connecting the machine. You can rotate the other end of the water inlet pipe at the machine end in any direction. Unscrew the tightening ring slightly, turn the end of the pipe as you wish and tighten the ring again firmly.
Water drainage
It is preferable to connect the drain pipe to a siphon. However, you can put it directly in a sink or a basin, or even into a bath. Only use original pipes as extensions (placed on the floor over a length of not more than 3 m and at a height of not more than 1 m).
Water drained into a siphon The end piece fitted on the end of the pipe may be connected to any type of standard siphon. Use a clamping collar to keep the end piece in position on the siphon. Water drained into a sink When the drain pipe is placed in a sink or a wash basin, use the elbow supplied with the washing machine to prevent it from slipping. This pipe could be forced out of the sink under the pressure of the water being drained. Small sinks should be avoided ! You can avoid this problem by fixing the elbow to the water tap or to the wall using the orifice provided.
