Warning
Danger 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).
Notes
■
Only operate the washer dryer 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 kink or squash the water
supply hose.
■
Do not alter (shorten, 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 become
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
rate 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
tap (26.4 mm = ¾") and to the
appliance (not necessary for Aqua-Stop
models as this is permanently installed):
■
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.
Note:
Turn on the tap carefully,
checking the leak tightness of the
connection points. The screw
connection is under mains water
pressure.
