Hot water connection*
The hot water temperature must not ex-
ceed 70 °C (60 °C in the UK).
To minimise energy consumption during
operation with hot water, the washing
machine should be connected to a suit-
able hot water ring circuit. So-called
“transmission pipes” (single pipes to
hot water generators) can result in any
water remaining in the pipes cooling
down if not in constant use. More en-
ergy would then be consumed to heat
the liquid up again.
The same connection requirements as
for cold water also apply to hot water.
The inlet hose (hot = red stripes) is con-
nected to the stopcock.
The washing machine cannot only be
connected to a hot water connection.
* Some machine versions do not come
with a hot water hose.
