Water connection
– To prevent leaks or water damage, follow the instructions in this chapter.
–
Note
: Operate the washing machine with cold water only.
Do not connect to a mixer tap of a unpressurised boiler.
– Do not remove the water inlet hose frequently as the loose connection will lead to leaks.
We recommend that you use a water inlet hose that is specially made for the machine.
– Do not use a used inlet hose. Only use the inlet hose supplied or one that was purchased
from an authorised specialist dealer.
– If in doubt, have the appliance connected by a technician.
Water supply
Water inlet hose:
Note
: Do not bend, crush, modify or cut through the hose (the strength is no longer
guaranteed).
Optimum water pressure in the mains: 100-1000 kPa (1-10 bar)
– When the tap is turned on, the water flow should be at least 8 l/min.
– If the water pressure is higher, install a pressure reducing valve.
1.
Connect the water inlet hose to the tap.
Tighten the plastic screw-fittings by hand only.
2.
Carefully turn on the tap and check that the connection
points are not leaking.
Note:
The screw connection is under water mains
pressure.
Water drainage
Water drainage hose:
Note
: Do not bend or stretch the hose.
Height difference between the installation area and outlet: max. 100 cm
Drainage into a sink/bath tub:
Note:
Secure the drainage hose to prevent it from slipping out of
the sink.
Note:
The plug must not be in the plug hole. When the water is being
pumped out of the washing machine, check that the water drains away
quickly enough. Do not insert the end of the drainage hose in the water that
has been pumped out. There is a risk that water will be drawn back into the
washing machine.
Drainage into a siphon:
Note
: Secure the connection with a 24-40 mm dia. hose clip
(available from a specialist retailer).
