Water supply
Do not allow the water supply hose to be:
– bent, squashed, modified or cut through
(otherwise its strength is no longer guaranteed).
Note the water pressure in the mains supply:
– The water pressure should be between 50-900 kPa (0.5-9 bar) (at least
8 litres of water flow out per minute when the tap is turned on).
– If the water pressure is higher than this, a pressure reducing valve
must be installed.
Connect the supply hose to the cold water tap with ¾" connection.
Only tighten the screw connections by hand. Do not remove the filter from
the supply hose.
After connecting the water supply hose:
– Open the water tap carefully, checking the leak tightness of the
connection points.
– Caution: The screw connection is under mains water pressure.
Water drainage
– Do not kink the drain hose or pull it lengthways.
– Height difference between the installation surface and the drain:
max. 90 cm, min. 50 cm.
Secure the connection point with a 24-40 mm hose clamp.
Electrical connection
The washing machine must only be connected to an alternating current
using a properly installed earthed socket.
Only use earth-leakage circuit breakers with the following symbol:
The power supply and voltage information indicated on the washing
machine (rating plate) must be the same.
The connected load and fuse required are specified on the rating plate.
Make sure that:
– the mains plug fits the socket.
– the cable cross-section is adequate.
– the earthing system is properly installed.
– the appliance is not standing on the mains cable.
– the mains plug is accessible at all times.
Changes to the mains cable may only be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
Do not use multiple plugs/adapters or extension cables.
Mains plug:
– do not plug in or unplug the mains plug when your hands are wet.
– pull the appliance plug out of the socket at the plug only, not by the
cable.
– never unplug the plug during operation.
