Warning
Risk of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you
touch live components.
Observe the following when connecting
the machine:
Notes
■
Only operate the washing machine
using cold mains water.
■
Do not connect the machine to the
mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-
water boiler.
■
Do not use a used supply hose. Only
use the supply hose supplied with
the machine or one that was
purchased from an authorised
retailer.
■
Do not bend, squash, modify or cut
through the water supply hose
(otherwise its strength is no longer
guaranteed).
■
Only tighten the screw connections
by hand. If the screw connections
are tightened too much with a tool
(pliers), the thread may be
damaged.
Optimum water pressure in the supply
network
At least
100 kPa (1 bar)
Maximum
1000 kPa (10 bar)
When the tap is open, the water flow is
at least 8 l/min.
If the water pressure is higher than this,
a pressure-reducing valve must be
installed.
Connection
1.
Connect the water supply hose to
the water tap (¾" = 26.4 mm) and to
the appliance:
– Model:
Standard
– Model:
Aqua
Secure
Tip:
Connect also an external water
filter between water supply hose and
tap. The filter filters dirt particles out
of the water.
Water filter must be cleaned regularly
to remove contaminants. This will
prevent blockages. See also
~
separate installation and cleaning
instruction for water filter.
2.
Open the water tap carefully,
checking the leak tightness of the
connection points. The screw
connection is under mains water
pressure.
