Water stop anti-flooding system
(depending on model)
• Screw the hose to the water supply tap. Turn the tap fully
on and check the water-tightness of the connection.
• The washing machine must not be connected to the
mixing tap of a non-pressurized water heater!
• The inlet hose and the plastic enclosure contain
(depending on model) electrical components: do not cut
the hose and do not immerse the enclosure in water.
• If the flexible hose is damaged, unplug the washing
machine from the mains immediately, turn off the tap and
replace the hose.
If the flexible hose is too short, replace it with a 3 m Water
Stop hose (available from After-Sales Service or from your
dealer). This operation must be carried out exclusively by a
qualified technician.
Connect the water drain hose
1. Unhook the drain hose from the left and right hose
connections, see arrow A in figure.
Important:
Do NOT loosen the drain hose connection from the
right side, see arrow B in figure. Otherwise, there is the
risk of leakage and of scalding with hot water.
2. Fix the “U” bend (C) to the free end of the drain hose.
3. Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it over the
edge of a sink with the “U” bend.
Small hand basins are not suitable.
The edge of the sink must be no more than 100 cm from
the floor.
If you need to add an extension, use a flexible hose of the
same size and secure the unions with screw-on hose clips.
Maximum overall drain hose length: 2.50 m.
Maximum drain height (“U” bend): 100 cm.
Minimum drain height: 55 cm.
Important:
Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose and take
precautions against it falling while the washing machine is running.
