  • What you need to consider when connecting the equipment to the mains?

Remove the transport elements

Before you begin to install the machine, all fasteners should be removed.They are set to carry the equipment and do not damage the drum on the road.

To fix the car on the road use such elements:

  • Bolts - they fix the tank before transporting.They need to be sure to remove it.Otherwise there will be depreciation in the tank, and the machine itself is greatly vibrate during operation.After the bolts are removed, the tank is placed on springs that it will not strongly shake technique.The holes that remain from the bolts are closed with plugs;
  • Staples - by transportation equipment they strengthen the body and fix the cord and hoses;
  • Wooden bars - they are set not for each model.We need to look between the tank and the housing, if they are there, be sure to remove.

fixing parts can lead to engine damage if before operating equipment should not be removed.No matter how many parts may be, to dispose of them it is not recommended to move the case.

Where to install automatic machine?

next to the washing machine is supposed location of the power outlet.

view of the fact that this type of technology is a source of moisture, heat, should carefully approach to site selection.

engine Contact hidden under a protective cover.From the human eye, they are hidden but remain bare for air.

In the bathroom to install it experts do not recommend, as the humidity in the room and so exceeds the norm.

When installing the machine in the kitchen, it is desirable to choose: to wash or to engage in cooking, as this part of the property also has a high moisture content.

Ideal for washing appliances - small room for household needs.

destinations rarely visited residents, the rate of humidity in the normal operating equipment will not interfere with the people, and make a hole in the wall for connecting the equipment to the communications - it's not complicated.

When installing the machine is equipped with the floor.In the laminate, linoleum, tile, wood, experts recommend installing not.The best floor covering - reinforced concrete.

place where the unit will be exempt from the decorative coating and filled with concrete.

The surface needs to be done flat.If there are minor discrepancies during the installation you can adjust the level of the legs with a thread.

If the floor is decorated with tiles, a washing machine is recommended to put a rubber mat.Otherwise, vibration tile cracked under the feet.

To determine the stability of the machine it is possible to shake from side to side, then twist the leg.

It is important to try to establish the technique, removing the legs to the minimum distance.

washing machine can be installed in furniture.Prior to this, it is to make sure that the equipment is designed for such a place.Otherwise, vibration furniture in a short time to shatter.

Connection washing machine

important step - to connect the machine to the water supply machine with cold water, to provide drain the dirty water into the sewer.

Water connection

Washing machine is connected to the water supply permanently.For this purpose a flexible hose.

In places the hose connections with other components necessary to use rubber gaskets for sealing.As necessary elements for the connection is dependent on the location of the unit.

connection options
After the washing is complete, it is recommended to block the water completely, which is supplied to the equipment.

To do this before installing the machine-gun must be put on a water pipe with cold water faucet optional.

in DIY stores offer many kinds of couplings, tees, which you need to buy enough to make a quality connection.

Immediately after the installation of a crane is required grid that will filter debris from the water.He often appears after the repair work in the form of sand, rust and other impurities.

filter from time to time it is recommended to clean.

Models available machines, automatic, which have a special system that prevents the ingress of water into the unit when not printing.Such a system is called the Aqua-stop.

At the end of the hose, through which the wash water has a solenoid valve.The system connects to the network.All wire, hose protected by a special cover.

If washing does not occur, the valve shuts off the cold water.

connection to the sewer

Draining can be arranged by securing the drain hose to the sink or tub.To do this, the set includes all the parts.But it does not always have the opportunity to fix the washing drain hose.

In this case, the machine must be connected directly to the sewer.This connection is considered to be the safest.it is not recommended to increase the length of the drain hose -

When connecting equipment to the sewage system should be considered.It is designed to set the pump machine.

Connecting the drain hose to the sewer is through a siphon.It is necessary to foresee the presence of an additional siphon.

Such fastening drain will prevent the occurrence of unpleasant odor in the room.

In some models of machines instruction is recommended not to connect the drain to the siphon is very tight.Otherwise, the water will be sucked in, and the program will hang.

But it should be borne in mind that the gap should be above the water level in case of sewer blockage.

Videos in this article shows how you can correctly connect the equipment yourself.

Connecting machines without running water

Washing machines are necessary and in the village, where there is no central water supply.Wash your hands - a laborious process, so the question arises, how to connect the automated equipment to facilitate the work?

there the easiest option - to withdraw the drain hose into a ditch or a cesspool outside.The wash water will have to carry their own and poured as required.

Such a process fraught with difficulties.Throughout washing machines need to be about to fill it with water.How long will the water to complete the wash cycle is indicated in the instructions.

It's a waste of a lot of time.In addition, the water will need a lot.

There is another option to connect the machine-machine - to buy a pump station and connect it to water supply.The pump will pump water to the technique during washing.

In this case, you should definitely buy a filter that water flowed without pollution.

Another option connection technology without running water - install a water tank.It must be positioned above the machine.

In this case, the water itself will generate the necessary pressure, and washing will take place as normal.

If you choose this connection, it is necessary to calculate the capacity of the tank to the water enough for the entire wash cycle.

In carrying out the washing in the village need to consider the level of water hardness.If it is high, it is recommended to use fabric softeners.Otherwise, the inevitable failure of the engine or PETN.

If none of the options for any reason is not suitable, it is necessary to acquire the old sample rotor machine.It does not require connection to the water supply.Water is poured manually.

But the quality of the wash is less than in the machine.In the video you can see the connection of the machine without running water.

What you need to consider when connecting the equipment to the mains?

When using electrical appliances it is important to comply with all safety requirements.Machine-gun is not an exception.

Motor connection should be done by the electrical panel through the wire, which has a cross-section of 3 mm.The socket is also calculated on a 3-wire.

Particular attention is paid to important ground.For water supply, the battery, the gas supply to connect it prohibited.

But if the room has air conditioning and other large equipment, the machine can be connected to such devices.

If you can not connect to other equipment, it is necessary to carry out cable laying with a high capacity.If the experience in carrying out similar work there, it is best to contact the experts.

can draw the connection of the machine motor to power and self.To do this, you must use the automatic shut-off device.

It works by affecting the differential current.Install it should be on the switchboard near the counter.

RCD function - if the washing machine is faulty, then when you touch the body of the appliance or other metallic parts of it, the supply voltage is turned off.

In addition, a fire prevented technology and breaking the engine in case of insulation damage.

benefits of installing automatic shut-off device:

  • RCD can connect on their own, without involving the experts for this purpose;
  • device can operate at any outside temperature, its fluctuations do not affect the work of the RCD;
  • mains voltage may fluctuate in the range of 115-265 volts;
  • unit is equipped with a voltage indicator, which allows you to control the power supply;
  • RCD is small, so it is possible to install in any place;
  • if there was a ground fault, the device is able to provide motor overload protection.
