Power Supply; Water Connection; Permissible Water Pressure - AEG LAVAMAT W 1020 Instruction Book

Power supply

Details on the mains voltage,
type of current and the neces-
sary fuse protection are to be
found on the rating plate. The
rating plate is above and
behind the door.
For permanent electrical con-
nection within the electrical
circuit, provisions must be made which allow for electrical disconnec-
tion of the appliance from the mains with a contact opening of at least
3 mm at all poles. Suitable devices include circuit breakers, fuses (thre-
aded fuses must be entirely removed from the socket), ground fault cir-
cuit interrupters and contactors. Permanent connection may only be
carried out by an authorised electrician.
This appliance conforms to the following EC directives
;
– "Low-Voltage Directive" 73/23/EWG dated 19 February 1973
and Directive amendment 93/68/EWG
– "EMC Directive" 89/336/EWG dated 3 May 1989
and Directive amendment 93/68/EWG

Water connection

The washing machine is provided with safety devices which prevent
3
reverse pollution of drinking water and conform to the State regula-
tions issued by water supply authorities (e.g. in Germany: DVGW Direc-
tives). Further protective measures in the installation are hence
unnecessary.
Attention! Appliances for cold water connection may not be con-
nected to warm water!

Permissible water pressure

Water pressure must be equal to a least 1 bar (= 10N/cm
and no more than 10 bar (= 100N/cm
• By more than 10 bar: connect a pressure reduction valve upstream.
• By less than 1 bar: Unscrew the flexible inlet tubing on the magnetic
inlet valve on one side of the appliance and remove the flow meter
(thereby remove the sieve by means of a pair of pointed pliers and
then remove the rubber washer behind it). Remount the sieve.
