Before connecting the washing machine must resolve a number of issues related to power. The first thing to establish a nominal capacity of electrical wiring in your apartment. If it is less than the power consumption of a washing machine, without laying new cable is needed. It is important to bear in mind that at the same time with the washing machine can work and other appliances, so you need to calculate the total power consumption. It is also know for a current circuit breakers are designed and computer. If the house is an old building, you’ll likely have to replace both of them more powerful. The replacement, of course, must produce an electrician from your Housing Authority.
If your apartment is equipped with electric cooker, in which case the scheme is to connect the washing machine is quite simple. Near the outlet electric outlet is placed for washing machine and is connected in parallel. In homes with gas stoves have to stretch to shield separate three wire cord. It must be double insulated, and its cross section should correspond to the current load. The passport to the car, usually indicate the recommended section. The phase and neutral wire is connected after working the counter, and the third – zero security – in front of him. The new line must establish a circuit breaker and RCD. It is important to draw attention to the fact that the ground the neutral wire was not in his chain of fuses or any interposing devices were, and his cross was not less than the phase wires. All cables are best run in the cable channels.
To connect the washing machine to cold water, they are all equipped with a flexible hose, which can be connected both to the metal pipes and flexible pipes to the existing water supply system.
The easiest way to connect to hoses. There is already a flexible hose (from the kitchen faucet, water heater, cistern toilet, etc.) and giving way to his place tie with the size of a special tee diverter holes 3 / 4 inch. Then, on the one hand be connected to him that the hose, which you first turned away, while On the other – water intake hose into the washing machine. It is recommended to set tee with special Wintel, in case of disconnecting the hose from the washing machine (eg for repair) did not have to override the water around the home.
In the “rigid” system of pipelines connect through fittings. At present, their choices are so varied that to find the right will have no difficulty.
To pour water all the washing machines are also equipped with a flexible hose. If necessary, it can be extended, but the total length should not exceed 3,5 m in order not to overload the drain pump. If the washing machine in the bathroom, then drain the excess water can be directly in the bath or sink by attaching the hose on the edge with a special device (typically, it is included). It is necessary to provide that point of discharge above the level of water in the car for 5 – 10 cm, otherwise the water will flow out arbitrarily. Drainage will be more civilized, organized directly into the sewer pipe.
