Fit Washing Machine Or Dishwasher

To fit a washing machine or dishwasher, ensure the appliance fits the space, then connect its power, water, and drain hoses. You'll need access to a power supply, hot and cold water pipes, and a drain standpipe or sink waste pipe. For plumbing and electrical work, it is recommended to use a qualified professional. 1. Prepare the Space Check Dimensions: Measure the space to ensure the new appliance will fit. Clear the Area: Remove any packaging and make sure there is enough room for the appliance to be moved into place. 2. Turn off Water Supply Turn off the valve: Locate the main water valve for your household and turn it off. Drain the pipes: Open the tap on the appliance's water supply pipe to drain any remaining water. 3. Connect to Plumbing Install Isolation Valves: Fit mini stop valves to the hot and cold water pipes, which allows you to isolate the washing machine without cutting off the main water supply. Connect the Water Inlet Hose: Attach the appliance's water inlet hose to the appropriate hot or cold water supply. Connect the Waste Hose: Hook the appliance's waste hose into the standpipe or a sink waste trap. 4. Connect to Power Install the Socket: If necessary, have a qualified electrician install a suitable switched fused connection unit behind or near the appliance. Plug in the Appliance: Plug the appliance into the newly installed socket. 5.
