Connection

1.

Connect the water supply hose to 

the water tap (¾" = 26.4 mm) and to 

the appliance:

– Model: 

Standard

– Model: 

Aqua

­

Secure

– Model: 

Aqua-Stop

Tip:  

Connect also an external water 

filter (depending on the model) 

between water supply hose and tap. 

The filter filters dirt particles out of the 

water.

Water filter must be cleaned regularly 

to remove contaminants. This will 

prevent blockages. See also 

~

 

separate installation and cleaning 

instruction for water filter.

2.

Open the water tap carefully, 

checking the leak tightness of the 

connection points. The screw 

connection is under mains water 

pressure.

Water outlet

Caution!

Water damage

When water is being pumped away, the 

outlet hose is under water pressure and 

may slip out of the wash basin or 

connection point. 

Secure the outlet hose so that it cannot 

slip out.

Note:  

Do not kink the water drain hose 

or put strain on it lengthways.

You can lay the water drain hose as 

follows:

Outlet in a sink

:

Warning

Risk of scalding!

When you are washing at high 

temperatures, there is a risk of 

scalding if you come into contact 

with hot water e.g. if hot water is 

being drained into a wash basin. 

Do not reach into the hot water.

Caution!

Damage to the appliance/fabrics

If the end of the drain hose is 

immersed in the drained water, water 

may be sucked back into the 

appliance and may damage the 

appliance/fabrics.

Make sure that: 

– The plug does not block drainage 

from the sink.

– The end of the drain hose is not 

immersed in the drained water.

– The water drains away quickly 

enough.
