Installation and connection instructions

Water connections

The washing machine is provided with safety equipment that pre- vents dirty water from flowing backwards into the drinking water supply pipes, in accordance with national water company specifica- tions. Therefore there is no need to use any other additional protection in the installation.

Warning! Washing machines designed to be connected to a cold water pipe must not be supplied with hot water!

Allowable water pressure

The water pressure shall be not less than 0,5 bar (= 0,05 MPa) and not more than 8 bar ( = 0,8 MPa).

Install a pressure reducer if the pressure exceeds 8 bar.

If the pressure is below 0,5 bar, unscrew the

supply pipe on the magnetic inlet valve on the washing machine, and remove the flow regulator (to do this, you will need to remove the filter

using pliers, and then rubber washer under it). Then put the filter back into position. This work can only be done by a qualified installer.

Water supply

A 1.5 m long supply pipe is provided with the washing machine.

If you need to use a longer supply pipe, only use a complete set of pipes fitted with installed screw-on end pieces, supplied by our After Sales Service.

Warning! Never use odd pieces of pipe as extensions!

Sealing rings are supplied either inside the plastic nuts, or with the accessories supplied with the washing machine. Do not use other sealing rings!
