PG 8172 ECO: Cold water (max. 20 °C)
Water hardness 
3 °dH (3.8 °e, 5.34 °TH, 0.54 mmol/l, 3 gr/gal) (recommendation, to prevent
scaling of the machine)

30 °dH (37.6 °e, 53.4 °TH, 5.35 mmol/l, 30 gr/gal) with machines with an
internal water softener

internal water softener
Connection of osmosis water is not permitted due to the copper pipes in the
waste air heat exchanger

16.3 Connecting the inlet hose
Caution
The inlet hose may not be shortened or damaged.
Old existing hoses may not be re-used.
Do not bend the inlet hose while laying it.
The inlet hose and water inlet filter are located in the machine.
INFO The water inlet filter prevents particles from the water supply entering the machine thus preventing
extraneous rust on the cutlery and in the machine.
Right view
 Connecting the inlet hose (TWw) to the machine.
 Connect the water inlet filter to the on-site water stopcock.
 Only with hot water connections in Great Britain:
Install the non-return valve between the water inlet filter and
the inlet hose. The non-return valve is located in a bag in the
machine.
 Connect the inlet hose to the water inlet filter.
 Open the water stopcock and test whether the connections are
tight.
