Connecting to the water supply
Permitted water pressure
The water pressure must be at least 1bar (=10N/cm
2
=0.1MPa) and may be
a maximum of 10bar (=100N/cm
2
=1MPa).
–
If more than 10bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve.
–
If less than 1bar: Disconnect the appliance end of the inlet hose from the
solenoid inlet valve and remove the flow meter. (In addition remove the fil-
ter using pointed pliers and take out the rubber gasket behind it.) Re-in-
sert the filter.
Water inlet
Attention!
•
An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
•
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the
water supply.
•
This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
1.
Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.
2.
Connect the hose with the angled con-
nection to the machine.
Important!
Do not place the inlet hose down-
wards. Angle the hose to the left or
right depending on the position of your
water tap.
3.
Set the hose correctly by loosening the
ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose,
be sure to tighten the ring nut again to
prevent leaks.
4.
Connect the hose to a tap with a
3/4” thread.
Always use the hose supplied with the
appliance.
Installation should comply with local wa-
ter authority and building regulations’ re-
quirements.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa
(0.5 bar) is required for safe operation of
the appliance.
