Notes
■
In addition to the safety information
listed here, the local water and

requirements.
■
Only operate the washing machine
using cold mains water.
■
Do not connect the washing
machine to the mixer tap of an
unpressurised hot-water boiler.

Notes
■
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 become
damaged.
Optimum water pressure in the mains:
100-1000 kPa (1-10 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
Connect the water supply hose to the
water tap (¾" = 26.4 mm) and to the
appliance (not necessary for Aqua-Stop
models):

Aquastop

the connection points are not leaking.

The screw connection is under
water pipe pressure.
