WATER CONNECTION
The mains water pressure must be between 0.05 and 1.00 MPa
(0,5 - 10 bar.)
▼
Before connection, open the tap and let the water run in order to clean the pipes
from impurities like sand and rust. (This operation is very important when the
washing machine has been inactive for a long time or when connected to new
piping).
▼
The water supply hose must be connected to the cold water outlet with a 3/4”
threaded opening.
▼
Connect the supply hose (fi g. 12/13).
N.B. Use the new hose provided with the machine. Do not reuse
the old one.
N.B. Clean the fi lter at the free end of the supply hose periodically. Do it
more often when there are frequent interruptions from the water mains
(fi g.12).
▼
The water supply tap must be completely open during washing.
▼
Connect the drain hose to a drain piping or wall drain between 60 and 90 cm
from the ground without squeezing it (fi g.14).
▼
If the water drains directly into the drain piping, the free end of the machine
hose must be inserted in the piping with an inside diameter no smaller than 40
mm.
▼
If water is drained into the washbasin or another drain, the free end of the hose
must be previously reinforced at the bending with an appropriate hook, provided
with the washing machine. Then place the hose at the edge of the washbasin
and fi x the hook to prevent the hose from falling (fi g. 15). The washbasin must
have its drain clean to allow water to drain freely.

Do not insert or remove the plug from the mains socket with wet hands.
If the power supply cable is damaged in any way, contact the appropriate specialised service centre.
The plug used to connect the machine to the power supply must never be fi xed behind the machine,
but must be in a position easily accessible in an emergency.
