Installation should comply with local water authority and building
regulations’ 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 of 0.48 bar 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 (161/2 ft) between the
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water supply, providing
there is a minimun height of 2.74 metres (9 ft) between the bottom
of the cold water storage tank and the bottom of the hot water cylin-
der.
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
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the
drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece” supplied. The standpipe
should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see dia-
gram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and
standpipe.
When discharging into a stand-
pipe ensure that the top of the
curve in the hose end is no
more than 90 cm (35.4”) and
no less than 60 cm (23.6”)
above floor level.
The upright standpipe should have a mini-
mum length of 30 cm (12”) from the bottom
of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see dia-
gram). Make sure that it is designed in such a
way that the end of the drain hose cannot be
covered with water.
Longer drain hoses are available in lengths
of 2.7 and 4 metres from your AEG Service
Force Centre.
