Water connection

Water supply
ATTENTION
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.
If in doubt, have the water connection
installed by an authorized technician.
The water supply hoses must not be:
- Bent or flattened.
- Modified or cut (integrity can
no longer be guaranteed).
Observe the water pressure in the
supply network:
- The water pressure should be
between 14.5 and 145 p.s.i.
(1 and 10 bars) when the tap
is turned on, at least 2.2 U. S.
gallons (8 liters) of water should be
discharged per minute.
- A pressure regulator valve must be
installed if the maximum water
pressure is exceeded.
ATTENTION
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.
ATTENTION
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.
