Water connection l
The washing machine must only be operated with cold and hot (max. 140 °F/60°C) tap water. Do
not connect the appliance to the mixer tap of an unpressurized hot-water boiler.
To prevent water damage, the hot and cold water valves should be accessible when the washing
machine is in place and should always be turned off when the washing machine is not in use!
If installing the washing machine in a new building or a building in which the plumbing system was
recently installed or upgraded, flush the lines before installing the washing machine to remove any
sand, dirt or residue.
The connection points are under full water pressure. Check seal with tap fully open.
To prevent leakage or water damage, follow the instructions in this chapter!
Do not use a used inlet hose. Only use the inlet hose supplied or one which was purchased from
an authorized dealer.
If in doubt, have the appliance connected by a technician.
Water supply
Water inlet hose:
Attention: Do not kink, crush, modify or cut through (strength is no longer guaranteed).
Optimum water pressure should be between: 14.5 to 145 p.s.i. (1-10 bar)
When the tap is turned on, the water flow is at least 2.2 U.S. gallons (8 liters) per minute.
If the water pressure is higher, install a pressure reducing valve.
1. Connect water supply hoses to the taps.
Tighten plastic screw-fittings by hand only.
2. Carefully turn on the taps and check the connection
points are not leaking.
Attention: screw connection is under water mains
pressure.
Water drainage
Water drainage hose:
Attention: Do not kink or stretch.
Height difference between installation area and outlet:
0 - max. 39 in.
Drainage into a sink/bath tub:
Attention: Secure the drainage hose to prevent it from slipping out of the sink.
Attention: The plug must not be in the plug hole. When the water is being
pumped out of the washing machine, check that the water drains away quickly
enough. Do not insert the end of the drainage hose into the pumped off water!
There is a risk that water will be drawn back into the washing machine!
Drainage into a siphon:
Attention: Secure connection point with hose clip,
Ø 0.9 in. - 1.6 in. (dealer).
.
Drainage into a standpipe or in wall installation:
Use the U-bracket. Attach the U-bracket to the end of the hose and insert end of
