This washing machine can be
operated with cold mains water and/or
hot water.
Damage caused by incorrect
water connection.
Connection to hot water only is not
permitted. The washing machine
requires a cold water connection
when operating with hot water in
order to control the temperature of
the wash water.
Always connect the washing
machine to cold mains water.
Programming the washing machine for
hot water operation is described in
“Settings - Water intake”.

The washing machine will be operated
with cold mains water only.
The other inlet hose is secured to the
back of the washing machine.
Hot water
– The preferred temperature is 55°C.
The temperature must not not exceed
60°C. Consult a qualified plumber if
the temperature exceeds 60°C.
– You can heat up your water with
cheaper, primary energy sources, e.g.
gas, solar power, oil.
– Before connecting to the mains water
tap, check that the outflow of cold
water does not exceed 5 litres. Each
additional litre of cold water reduces
the energy efficiency.
– If the hot water tap is turned off for
some time, the washing machine will
automatically switch to the cold
water connection. This safety
measure is not intended for the
permanent operation of the
appliance. The washing machine
continues to wash using hot water
operation, but washing results are
impaired.
