Water Drainage - Bosch Vision 500 series Operating, Care And Installation Instructions Manual

AquaStop
t
The AquaStopt system is available in
select models only. AquaStopt
protects against flood-type water
leakage through the clothes washer.
This is accomplished using a
stop-valve in the AquaStopt hose and
a floating switch in the washer base.
If a leak is detected, the system is
designed to shut off the water flow,
minimizing leakage.
AquaStopt is an internal containment
technology, and does not protect
against outside forces, such as home
plumbing problems, or damage caused
to the machine's hose (such as
installation damage). The clothes
washer must be level and turned on"
for proper functionality.
The AquaStopt feature is not
q
active and will not operate if the
cycle selector is in the Off"
position.
The washer must be level for
q
correct Aquastop  operation.
Hose
AquaStop
t
The AquaStopt hose is an external
containment technology that prevents
potential flooding if the hose leaks.
If the AquaStopt hose leaks, a red
mark is displayed and the water inlet is
blocked.
An Aquastopt hose that has
q
activated cannot be reset. Contact
Customer Service for a
replacement hose (see page 31).

Connecting the water
drainage hose
Do not remove the screw from
q
the clamp assembly. Loosen the
screw only enough so that the

Place the hose clamp over the end
of the drain hose before attaching
the drain hose to the appliance.
2.
Attach the drain hose to the drain
hose connection on the back of
the appliance; position the hose
clamp approximately 3/8 inch (9
mm) from the end of the hose.
3.
Tighten the clamp with a

In-Wall Installation
Attach the elbow to the end of the
q
hose and insert the end of the
hose into the wall drain
approximately three and a half to
four inches. Do not allow the hose
to extend more than four inches
into the drain pipe.
The hose and elbow should be
q
properly extended into the open
drain pipe when seated as shown
in the above picture. There should
be a gap between the drain hose
and the drain pipe to prevent
pressure buildup.
Use a strap or cable tie to hold
q
hose in place. This is to keep the
hose from coming out of the drain
pipe during pump out. The hose
can be tied to one of the water
supply hoses, or other suitable
nearby points.
