Installation Instructions
B
WARNING
¾
Be sure that there are rubber seals located on the hose connections. These
seals and adjustable bolts ensure a safe connection without leaking. After the
water connection is done, turn on both water faucets slowly and completely
to check any water leaks.
¾
Be sure that water supply hoses are not crushed and they have no kinking,
bulges or cuts before the water connection.
The water pressure must be between 15-145 psi (1-10 bar) for the proper operation of this washer.
1 bar corresponds to more than 2.1 US gallons (8 liters) per minute flow rate with a fully open faucet.
Water inlet hoses and valves should withstand a water pressure of 145 psi (10 bar) at maximum. If the
pressure is higher than 145 psi, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed before the water inlet.
If the water pressure is lower than 15 psi (1 bar), water fill time may extend or water inlet valve may
shut off completely.
• Hot water supply temperature must not exceed 140˚F (60˚C). (Ideally 120˚F (48˚C))
• Do not connect the washer to an unpressurized water boiler since water pressure may not be
adequate for proper operation.
• Do not remove the filters located on the water supply hoses (on faucet/hose and hose/inlet valve
connections).
• Always use genuine “Blomberg” water supply hoses when connecting with this washer. Old or
worn-out hoses must not be reused. It is not advised to extend inlet or drain hoses
,
if necessary
consult your dealer or technical service about hose extensions.
• Hot and cold water faucets must always be easily accessible to the user.
• At the end of a washing day, turn off water faucets to prevent any leakage or water damage that
may occur due to a faulty condition of the appliance.
• Check the appliance and inlet hose connections for water leakage after each use. If there is
leakage, turn off the appliance and water faucets and call service.
• Check the water inlet and drain hose connections regularly for any leakage. Hoses should be
replaced every 5 years.
• If there is no hot water supply, hot water valve must be connected to a cold water faucet
nevertheless. Both water valves should be connected to water supply for proper operation of your
washer.
Drainage
B
WARNING
¾
Drain hose should not be bent. Be sure that there are no kinks or cuts on it.
¾
Drain hose outlet must not contact the drained water.
Drain hose may be connected into a sink, into the drain of a sink, to a standpipe and floor drain.
• When connecting into a sink, the drain hose should be placed at the edge of the sink and secured
with the hose guide supplied by the manufacturer. Additionally, the guided hose may be tied to the
water faucet with a strap
for extra security.
• Drain hose may be connected into the drain of a sink . Be sure that the connection is safe and not
leaking. An additional clip etc can be used for safe connection.
• Drain hose may also be connected to a minimum 1.26 in (32 mm) diameter stand pipe.
