● Avoid the risk of electric shock. Do not put the security device for
the water-supply valve in water, as it contains an electric valve.
● Follow the instructions in this section to avoid water leaks.
● Do not connect the hose to the combination tap.
● If you’re unsure, ask a service agent to connect the hose.
Points to remember:
● Don’t twist, squash, modify or cut the hose.
●
Optimum water pressure in the main pipe is 0.03 MPa - 1.0 MPa.
● If your pressure is set higher than this, you’ll need to install a depressurising valve.
● Water-flow from the tap should be more than 5 litres per minute.
Connecting the water-supply hose
1
Attach the hose to a tap, and tighten
the plastic joint by hand.
2

pressure.

Leak-proof System
This system is designed to prevent water leaks from
the washing machine, and includes the following
components:
1) Leak sensor
Located on the base plate of the washing machine, this sensor detects leaks and stops the
washing machine. If this happens, an error display starting with H (e.g. H 01) will appear,
and you should contact your Customer Service Centre.
2) Hose with water-supply valve (certain types of washing machine only)
If this type of hose becomes damaged and leaks, the valve closes automatically and stops
the water supply.
) Overflow detection
If water collects in the washing machine above a certain level, this function prevents the
washing machine overflowing by stopping the water supply and activating the drain pump.
