SOURCE: how to mconnect a zanussi

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Methinks you could do with a manual- for now and probably later! You will need to type into your search engine/web browser '(make model number) washer manual' and you should be presented with a number of sources from which you can either download for free or have to pay a nominal amount. You could also try the manufacturer's web site direct ;-0) The manual should have advice as to what height the drain-away pipe should be from the washer. Apart from that it should be very straight forward- hot to hot inlet, often painted red, cold to the other (unless you are cold fill only but the washer expects hot and cold in which case- you will need to purchase, from a hardware (?) store, a 'Y' adapter. Upside down the single end (internal thread) screws into the cold water supply and the hot and cold washer pipes screw into the double end (external threads). The washer is fooled into thinking it has hot and cold! When it expects hot, it opens its hot valve but instead gets the cold water and has to heat it up. It will therefore take longer for the machine to do the washing. When it wants cold for rinses, it opens its cold valve and gets the same water!
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
