Warning
Risk of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you
touch live components.
Do not immerse the AquaStop safety
valve in water (it contains an electric
valve).
Notes
■
Only operate the washing machine
using cold mains water.
■
Do not connect the machine to the
mixer tap of an unpressurised hot
water generator.
■
Only use the supply hose provided
or one that has been purchased from
an authorised specialist retailer. Do
not use a supply hose that has
already been used.
■
Do not kink or squeeze the water
supply hose.
■
Do not alter (shorten or cut through)
the water supply hose (or else its
strength can no longer be
guaranteed).
■
Only tighten the screw connections
by hand. If the screw connections are
over-tightened with a tool (such as
pliers), this may damage the thread.
Optimum water pressure in the supply
network
Minimum:
100 kPa (1 bar)
Maximum:
1000 kPa (10 bar)
When the tap is open, the water flow
rate is at least 8 l/min.
If the water pressure is higher than this,
a pressure-reducing valve must be
installed.
Connection
Connect the water supply hose to the
tap (26.4 mm = ¾") and to the
appliance (not necessary on models
with AquaStop as this is permanently
installed):
■
to the tap
– Model:
Standard
– Model:
AquaSecure
– Model:
AquaStop
■
to the appliance
Model: Standard and AquaSecure
Note:
Carefully turn on the tap and
check that the connection points are not
leaking. Screwed connections are under
pressure from the water supply pipe.
