Washer Earth Connection and Equipotential Bonding
Independent of the supply cable, the washer must be connected
to the laundry earth system with a separate conductor. The
protective conductor, which enables this connection, is not
included with the washer. If there are other washers/appliances
with exposed conductive parts which can be touched
simultaneously, make equipotential bonding between all of these
appliances. The external terminal for this purpose is located
on the rear panel of the washer frame (see illustration below,
position 3). The minimum protective conductor's cross section
depends on the supply cable cross section and can be found
in "Manufacturer's Recommended Minimal Conductor Section"
in "Electrical Requirements." However, to keep a supply cable
section of a minimum 4 mm
to select a larger conductor section, for example 6 mm

Connecting Liquid Soap Supply Systems
All models come with a liquid soap connection.
Always use liquid soap pumps that have a flow rate high enough
to bring the desired quantity into the washer in less than 30
seconds.
IMPORTANT: Start pumping immediately after the water valves
are open. The incoming water dilutes the liquid soap and brings it
into the tub assembly.
IMPORTANT: Only qualified technicians should perform the
installation. Secure the location of the wiring and hoses properly
to keep them from being pinched, damaged, or rubbed.
Before you start to use liquid soap, check with your liquid soap
supplier to ensure the liquid soap will not cause damage and
is inert to HD-PE and PVC material. The manufacturer is not

The washer has connections for external dosing
of liquid soaps. A plastic hose connection is
located on the rear of the washer to connect
the liquid soap hoses. The connection has
six (6) nipples that come closed at the factory.
You must drill a 0.315"/8 mm hole in the small
nipple for each liquid soap connection used (5
maximum). A ½"/12 mm nipple is also located
on the plastic hose connection. Use this nipple
ONLY for pumping in diluted soap. If you need
to use the large nipple, you must drill a 0.45"/
4
11.5 mm hole into it.
NOTE: Gently remove the drill particles so

that they cannot clog up the hoses and openings.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure hose connections and clamps are

tight.
If one of the nipples is open, close and
■
secure the opening with an appropriate
cover.
