Washers
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The power consumption on the washers is very low, an approximate max
of 3 amps, and you can connect to a standard 13 amp supply.
WATER CONNECTIONS:
Hot and cold ll. You must connect to both hot and cold water supplies.
Connection is to a inch BSP (standard UK thread) tap or a stopcock
to shut off the water supply, with a minimum water pressure of 15 PSI*.
This is no different from a standard washer. It is important that you have
a good supply of hot water, as the wash temperature is dependent on the
temperature of the incoming water.**
NOTES:
*If either the hot or cold water pressure is low, the ll time will be
extended, and some of the advantages of the very short wash cycles
will be lost. Because the cycle includes a spray rinse, if the cold water
pressure is low, there is no sprayŽ effect and the rinsing is not as
effective.
**Wash Temperature; if the hot water pressure is very low and the
cold water pressure is high, the mixing could result in a low wash
temperature. Low water pressure is not wide spread, but if it does affect
you, it can be overcome by tting a booster pump.
Operating the washer with low water pressures will result in poor wash
and rinse performance.
* 15 PSI means a water tank needs to be approximately 30 feet above
the machine.
DRAIN CONNECTIONS:
This is a large capacity washer and requires a slightly larger drain hose
than normal. On standard washers the drain hose is normally placed
into a 1-1/2 inch stand pipe. On the Heavy Duty washer, you will need
a 2 inch stand pipe (or you could place it directly into a suitable sink if
preferred). |
