Installation and connection
Connection to the water sup‐ ply
The casing on the water inlet hose contains electrical compo‐ nents. It must not be connected in areas where there is the risk of water or other liquids reaching it, e.g. bath‐ rooms.
The casing on the water inlet hose must not get wet.
The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged or kinked.
The washing machine should be con‐ nected to a mains water supply in ac‐ cordance with current local and nation‐ al safety regulations. The German au‐ thorities do not require it to have a non- return valve as the washing machine has been designed to comply with DIN regulations.
The machine is designed to operate with a flow pressure of between 100 and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a pressure re‐ ducing valve.
Connection to the mains water supply should incorporate a mains stopcock
with a 3/4" threaded union. The stop‐ cock should be fitted by a qualified plumber.
The connection point is subject to mains water pressure. Turn on the stopcock slowly and check for leaks. Correct the position of the washer and union if appropriate.
The washing machine is not suitable for connection to a hot water supply.
