system was recently installed or upgraded, flush the lines before installing the washing
machine to remove any sand, dirt or residue.

from an authorized dealer.
- If in doubt, have the appliance connected by a technician.
Water supply
Water inlet hoses:
Attention: do not kink, crush, modify or cut through
(strength is no longer guaranteed).
Optimum water pressure should be between: 14,5 to 145 p.s.i. (1 10 bar)
- When the tap is turned on, the water flow is at least 2,2 U.S. gallons (8 liters) per minute.
- If the water pressure is higher, install a pressure reducing valve.
1. Connect water supply hoses to the taps.
Tighten plastic screw fittings by hand only.
2. Carefully turn on the taps and check that the
connection points are not leaking.
Attention: screw connection is under water mains
pressure.
