●  Avoid the risk of electric shock. Do not put the security device for 

the water-supply valve in water, as it contains an electric valve.

●  Follow the instructions in this section to avoid water leaks.

●  Do not connect the hose to the combination tap.

●  If you’re unsure, ask a service agent to connect the hose.

Points to remember:

● Don’t twist, squash, modify or cut the hose.

  Optimum water pressure in the main pipe is 0.03 MPa - 1.0 MPa.

●  If your pressure is set higher than this, you’ll need to install a depressurising valve.

● Water-flow from the tap should be more than 5 litres per minute.

  Connecting the water-supply hose

1

Attach the hose to a tap, and tighten 

the plastic joint by hand.

2

Open the tap slowly and check there 

are no leaks around the joint.

Caution:  the joint is subject to water 

pressure.

 Leak-proof System

This system is designed to prevent water leaks from 

the washing machine, and includes the following 

components:

1)  Leak sensor

    Located on the base plate of the washing machine, this sensor detects leaks and stops the 

washing machine. If this happens, an error display starting with H (e.g. H 01) will appear, 
and you should contact your Customer Service Centre.

2)  Hose with water-supply valve (certain types of washing machine only)

    If this type of hose becomes damaged and leaks, the valve closes automatically and stops 

the water supply.

3)  Overflow detection

    If water collects in the washing machine above a certain level, this function prevents the 

washing machine overflowing by stopping the water supply and activating the drain pump.
