installation and assembly

CONNECTION TO THE

MAINS WATER SUPPLY

The water supply hose is inside the drum:

a Connect the bent end of the hose to the

threaded inlet of the electrovalve located at the rear of the washing machine.

b Connect the other end of the hose to the

water intake. Then securely tighten the connection nut.

It is important that the drain hose bend is correctly fastened to the outlet, to prevent any risk of it becoming detached and causing flooding.

If your washing machine has a hot water intake, connect the hose with the red threaded end to the hot water tap, and to the electrovalve with the red filter.

The washing machine must be connected to the mains water supply,

Important

using the new supply hoses supplied with the appliance. Do not use water supply hoses that have been used before. For your washing machine to work properly, the mains water pressure must be between 0.05 and 1MPa (0.05 and 10 Kgr/cm

DRAINAGE

CONNECTION

a It is recommended that you have a fixed

drainage outlet 50 to 70 cm from the floor. Avoid the drain hose being too tight, kinked or restricted. Use the bend supplied.
