:Warning
Risk of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you touch live components.
Notes
■To prevent leakage or water damage, follow the instructions in this section!
■Only operate the washing machine using cold mains water. Do not connect to the mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-water apparatus.
■Do not remove the water inlet hose frequently as the loose connection will lead to leaks. We recommend that you use a water inlet hose that is specially made for the machine.
■Do not use a used supply hose. Only use the supply hose supplied or one that was purchased from an authorised specialist retailer.
■Do not kink or squash the water supply hose.
■Do not alter (shorten, 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 become damaged.
■If in doubt, have the appliance connected by a technician.
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.
