Warning
Risk of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you
touch live components.
Observe the following when connecting
the machine:
Notes
■
Only operate the washing machine
using cold mains water.
■
Do not connect the machine to the
mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-
water boiler.
■
Do not use a used supply hose. Only
use the supply hose supplied with
the machine or one that was
purchased from an authorised retai-
ler.
■
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 be dama-
ged.
Optimum water pressure in the supply
network
At least
100 kPa (1 bar)
Maximum
1000 kPa (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
1.
Connect the water supply hose to
the water tap (¾" = 26.4 mm) and to
the appliance:
– Model:
Standard
– Model:
Aqua
Secure
2.
Open the water tap carefully,
checking the leak tightness of the
connection points. The screw
connection is under mains water
pressure.
Water outlet
Caution!
Water damage
If the drain hose slips out of the wash
basin or the connection point during
draining due to high water pressure, any
escaping water may cause water
damage.
Secure the drain hose so that it cannot
slip out.
Note:
Do not kink the water drain hose
or put strain on it lengthways.
You can lay the water drain hose as
follows:

Warning

When you are washing at high
temperatures, there is a risk of
scalding if you come into contact
with hot water e.g. if hot water is
being drained into a wash basin.
Do not reach into the hot water.
