4. Connect your machine to the water supply...
INSTALLING YOUR MACHINE
WARNINGS:
●The temperature of your hot water supply should ideally be 60°C and no higher than 70°C as this could cause damage to your laundry and the machine.
●Do not connect the machine to a single outlet instantaneous water heater.
●Your hot and cold water pressure must be in the range Max. 1Mpa (10 bar) and Min. 0.05Mpa (0.5 bar). Incorrect pressures could lead to flooding.
●The water supply taps should be accessible when the machine is installed.
●Before connecting the fill hoses, check that water is running from the water supply taps you will use for your machine.
●Connect the machine to the water supply using the fill hoses fitted to the machine. Do not use old hoses.
Hot and cold fill
1Unclip both of the fill hoses from the back of the machine.
2 Connect the free end of the grey fill hose with the red connector to the HOT water supply (see figure1). Connect the free end of the grey fill hose with the blue connector to the COLD water supply.
3 Turn on your water supply and check for leaks.
If there is a leak, turn off the water supply, remove the connector and check that the sealing washer is in place. Refit the connector and tighten it.
Turn on the water supply.
4 When moving the machine into its final position, make sure that the hoses are not trapped or kinked.
