Water-supply hose

●Avoid the risk of electric shock. Do not put the security device for the water-supply valve in water, as it contains an electric valve.

●Follow the instructions in this section to avoid water leaks. ●Do not connect the hose to the combination tap.

●If you’re unsure, ask a service agent to connect the hose.

Points to remember:

●Don’t twist, squash, modify or cut the hose.

Optimum water pressure in the main pipe is 0.03 MPa - 1.0 MPa.

●If your pressure is set higher than this, you’ll need to install a depressurising valve. ●Water-flow from the tap should be more than 5 litres per minute.

Leak-proof System

This system is designed to prevent water leaks from the washing machine, and includes the following components:

1)Leak sensor

Located on the base plate of the washing machine, this sensor detects leaks and stops the washing machine. If this happens, an error display starting with H (e.g. H 01) will appear, and you should contact your Customer Service Centre.

2)Hose with water-supply valve (certain types of washing machine only)

If this type of hose becomes damaged and leaks, the valve closes automatically and stops the water supply.

3)Overflow detection

If water collects in the washing machine above a certain level, this function prevents the washing machine overflowing by stopping the water supply and activating the drain pump.
