5.4 Connecting water supply
The water supply pressure required to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1 MPa). It is necessary to have
10 – 80 liters of water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure

reducing valve if water pressure is higher.
If you are going to use the double water-inlet product as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must install the supplied stopper
to the hot water valve before operating the product. (Applies for the products supplied with a blind stopper group.)
CAUTION: Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. In such a case the laundry will
get damaged or the product will switch to protection mode and will not operate.
CAUTION: Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.
Connect the special water supply hoses supplied with the product to the water inlets on the
product. Red hose (left) (max. 90 ºC) is for hot water inlet, blue hose (right) (max. 25 ºC) is
for cold water inlet.
Make sure that the hot and cold water taps are connected correctly when the product is
being installed. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot at the end of the washing process
and wear out.
1 Tighten the nuts of the hose by hand. Never use a tool when
tightening the nuts.
2 When hose connection is completed, check whether there is leak
problems at the connection points by opening the taps fully. If any
leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten the nut
carefully after checking the seal. In order to prevent the water leaks
and resultant damages, keep the taps closed when you do not use
the product.
5.5 Connecting the drain hose to the drain
• Attach the end of the drain hose directly to waste water drain, lavatory or bathtub.
CAUTION: Your drain house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there
A
is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! In order to prevent such situations and make sure that the machine
performs water intake and discharge processes without any problem, fix the drain hose securely.
• Connect the drain hose to a minimum height of 40 cm
and a maximum height of 100 cm.
• In case the drain hose is elevated after laying it on the
floor level or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above
100cm
• To prevent the waste water to go back into the machine again and to ensure easy drainage, do not immerse
the end of the hose into the waste water or do not insert it into the drain for more than 15 cm. If it is too
long, cut it short.
• The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must not be pinched
between the drain and the machine.
• If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. Length of the hose may
not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the
drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an appropriate clamp as not to come off and leak.

Electrical requirements
Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown in the
rating label corresponds to your electricity supply.
We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket
in a readily accessible position.
Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or need replacing at any time, it must be replaced
by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from a Authorised Service Agent.
B
If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted.
Destroy the old plug, which is cut off as a plug with a bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted into a
socket elsewhere in the house.
The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTA
approved BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the event of
losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the
replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are
available from any good electrical store.
