Water connection

– The washing machine must only be operated with cold and hot (max. 140 °F/60°C) tap water. Do
not connect the appliance to the mixer tap of an unpressurized hot-water boiler.
– To prevent water damage, the hot and cold water valves should be accessible when the washing
machine is in place and should always be turned off when the washing machine is not in use!
– If installing the washing machine in a new building or a building in which the plumbing system was
recently installed or upgraded, flush the lines before installing the washing machine to remove any
sand, dirt or residue.
– The connection points are under full water pressure. Check seal with tap fully open.
– To prevent leakage or water damage, follow the instructions in this chapter!
– Do not use a used inlet hose. Only use the inlet hose supplied or one which was purchased from
an authorized dealer.
– If in doubt, have the appliance connected by a technician.
