For models with straight hose:
1.Insert the mesh filter (already premounted on the hose end or included in the accessories) into the threaded tap coupling.
2.Carefully screw the water inlet hose connection onto the tap by hand.
3.Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose.
4.Turn the tap on fully and check that the joints at the washing machine and the tap are watertight.
If the hose is too short, replace it with a suitable length of pressure resistant hose (1000 kPa min, EN 50084 approved type).
Check the hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace if necessary.
The washing machine can be connected without a nonreturn valve.
For models with Water Stop hose:
1.Screw the threaded connection with the mesh filter onto the tap.
2.Turn the tap on fully and check that the tap joint is watertight.
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 replacement is only to carried out by a trained electrician.
The appliance must not be connected to the mixing tap of an un-pressurized water heater.
Depending on the design, the inlet hose and the plastic enclosure at the tap connection contain electrical components.
Do not cut the hose and do not immerse the plastic enclosure in water.
Isolate the appliance from the mains immediately if the hose is damaged.
Connect the water drain hose
1.Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it over the edge of a sink by means of the “U” bend supplied.
2.Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose.
3.Secure the hose so that it cannot fall down while the appliance is running.
Small hand basins are not suitable.
To make an extension, use a hose of the same type. Secure the connections with clips.
Max. Overall drain hose length: 2.50 m
Maximum drain height: 1.25 m
Depending on the model, the drain hose can be:
A.installed in the upper part of the washing machine. In this case the hose can be undone from both fastenings.
B.Installed in the lower part of the washing machine.
