DURING EXTRACTION THE DRUM SHOULD ROTATE IN CLOCKWISE DIRECTION (WHEN YOU ARE
IN FRONT OF THE DOOR OF THE MACHINE). IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE THEN YOU MUST INTERCHANGE
U (L1) AND V (L2) WIRES ON SUPPLY CABLE TO MAIN SWITCH – NOT VALID FOR FREQUENCY
CONTROL.
PROTECTION
The circuit breakers and fuses are available in the laundry switchboard against the occurrence of short-circuit
or overloading. Verify, please, the number of phases and the machine voltage according to the name plate.
Look for an adequate value of the circuit breaker in technical information.
MACHINE PROTECTIVE CONNECTION
From the safety reasons it is necessary to connect the washing machine to the laundry protection system.
The external protective terminal M6 of the washing machine located on the right rear part of the washing
machine frame serves for this purpose and it identified with an earthing mark, see fig. 3.2, pos. 8.
The protection conductor enabling this connection is not part of the delivery with the washing machine.
However, for the protection purposes with the supply cable section of min. 4 mm
2
we recommend to select
a larger conductor section, i.e. 6 mm
2
.
WATER SUPPLY
The machine is equipped with 3/4“ cold (hot) water inlet valves. Use inlet pressure hoses, adapted to the
valves with seal. The best operation of the inlet valves will be obtained when the water pressure is situated
between 0.4-1 MPa / 60-145 PSI. A water pressure that is too low can unnecessary lengthen the wash cycle.
WATER HARDNESS
It is advisable to contact the water supplier for information concerning the properties of the water in your area.
Good wash results are dependent also on the water hardness. For medium to very hard water, consideration
should be made to make the water softer.
Only in some cases is the use of hard water desirable, such as adding softener in the linen.
The soap supplier can help you with making the right decisions concerning hard water, soft water, washing
programs, type of soap and other related items to have the best wash results.

WATER CONNECTION
Most machines are made with 2 or 3 water inlets. One is always marked with „soft water“. If more inlets are
present, they are marked with „Hot water“ or „Hard water“. For connection dimensions (see fig. 3.2). Always
use the flexible hose delivered with the machine, if not present, contact your dealer. In each case do not
use a fixed connection to the water supply.
For the proper function of the machine, it is necessary to keep the water pressure within the limits stated in
the technical data. It is also necessary to connect all available water inlets to a water supply. If a hard water
supply is not present, connect it with soft water. If no hot water supply is present, contact your dealer for the
proper required action.
