The washing machine is provided with safety devices preventing back-

 

contamination of the water supply and complies with local water au-

thority requirements.

This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home’s water supply.

Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.

Important!

– Appliances for connecting to cold water must not be connected to hot water.

– Only use new hose sets for the connection.

Water pressure

The appliance is designed to operate within the following water pressure units. Minimum 1 bar (= 10N/cm2 = 0.1 Mpa), maximum 10 bar (= 100N/cm2 = 1 Mpa).

If more than 10 bar: Install a pressure-reduction valve upstream

If less than 1 bar: Unscrew the inlet hose from the appliance at the inlet solenoid valve and remove the flow regulator (to do this, remove the filter with needle nose pliers and remove the rubber washer be- hind the filter). Replace the filter.
