Installation

3. Attach the plastic covers supplied in the User 

Manual bag into the holes on the rear panel. 

(P)

C

Keep the transportation safety bolts in 

a safe place to reuse when the washing 

machine needs to be moved again in the 

future.

C

Never move the product without the 

transportation safety bolts properly fixed 

in place!

3.4 Connecting water supply

C

The water supply pressure required to run 

the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 

10 MPa). It is necessary to have 10 – 80 

liters of water flowing from the fully open 

tap in one minute to have your machine 

run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing 

valve if water pressure is higher.

C

If you are going to use the double water-
inlet product as a single 

(cold)

 water-inlet 

unit, you must install the supplied stopper 

to the hot water valve before operating the 

product. (Applies for the products supplied 

with a blind stopper group.)

A

WARNING: 

Models with a single water 

inlet should not be connected to the hot 

water tap. In such a case the laundry will 

get damaged or the product will switch to 

protection mode and will not operate.

A

WARNING: 

Do not use old or used water 

inlet hoses on the new product. It may 

cause stains on your laundry.

1. Connect the special hoses supplied with the 

product to the water inlets on the product. Red 

hose (left) (max. 90 ºC) is for hot water inlet, 

blue hose (right) (max. 25 ºC) is for cold water 

inlet.

A

WARNING: 

Ensure that the cold and hot 

water connections are made correctly 

when installing the product. Otherwise, 

your laundry will come out hot at the end 

of the washing process and wear out.

2. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a tool 

when tightening the nuts.

3. Open the taps completely after making 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.
