Warning
Risk of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you
touch live components.
Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety
valve in water (it contains an electric
valve).
Observe the following when connecting
the machine:
Notes
■
Only operate the washing machine
using cold mains water.
■
Do not connect the machine to the
mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-
water boiler.
■
Do not use a used supply hose. Only
use the supply hose supplied or one
that was purchased from an
authorised specialist retailer.
■
Do not bend, squash, modify or cut
through the water supply hose
(otherwise its strength is no longer
guaranteed).
■
Only tighten the screw connections
by hand. If the screw connections
are tightened too much with a tool
(pliers), the thread may be
damaged.
Optimum water pressure in the supply
network
At least
100 kPa (1 bar)
Maximum
1000 kPa (10 bar)
When the tap is open, the water flow is
at least 8 l/min.
If the water pressure is higher than this,
a pressure-reducing valve must be
installed.
Connection
Connect the water supply hose to the
water tap (¾" = 26.4 mm) and to the
appliance (not necessary for Aqua-Stop
models as this is permanently installed):
■
Model:
Standard
■
Model:
Aqua-Secure
■
Model:
Aqua-Stop
Note:
Open the water tap carefully,
checking the leak tightness of the
connection points. The screw
connection is under mains water
pressure.
