Warning: Ensure that the cold and
hot water connections are made
correctly when installing the
machine to prevent your laundry
coming out hot at the end of the
washing process and wearing out .
Warning: Flooding will occur if the
hose comes out of its housing during
water discharge. There is risk of
scalding due to high washing
temperatures! To prevent this and to
ensure smooth water intake and
discharge of the machine, secure
the end of the discharge hose tightly
so that it cannot dislodge easily.
2 Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use
a tool when tightening the nuts.
3 Open the taps completely after completing
the hose connection to check for water
leaks at the connection points . If any leaks
occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut
Retighten the nut carefully after checking
the seal. To prevent water leakages and
damages caused by them, keep the taps
closed when the machine is not in use.
Connecting to the drain
• The end of the drain hose must be directly
connected to the wastewater drain or to
the washbasin.
• The hose should be attached to a height of
at least 80 cm, and 100 cm at most .
• In case the hose is elevated after laying it
on the floor level or close to the ground
(less than 65 cm above the ground), water
discharge becomes more difficult and the
laundry may come out excessively wet .
Therefore follow the heights as per the
following figure.
• To prevent flow of dirty water back into
the machine and to allow for easy .
discharge, do not immerse the hose end
into the dirty water or do not push it in the
drain by more than 15 cm If it is too long,
cut it shorter .
• The end of the hose should not be bent,
it should not be stepped on and the hose
must not be pinched between the drain
and the machine.
• If the length of the hose is too short, use
it by adding an original extension hose.
Length of the hose may not be longer
than 3 2 m. To avoid water leakage, the
connection between the extension hose
and the drain hose of the machine must
be properly fitted with an appropriate
clamp so as not to come off and leak .
