The washing machine should be
connected to a mains water supply in
accordance with current local and
national safety regulations. The German
authorities do not require it to have a
non-return valve as the washing
machine has been designed to comply
with DIN regulations.
The flow pressure must amount to a
minimum of 100 kPa (1 bar) and must
not exceed an overpressure of
1000 kPa (10 bar). If it is higher than
1000 kPa (10 bar), a pressure reduction
valve must be installed.
Connection to the mains water supply
should incorporate a stopcock with a
¾" threaded union. If this is not
available, only a qualified installer may
connect the washing machine to the
mains water supply.
The connection point is subject to
mains water pressure.
Turn on the stopcock slowly and
check for leaks. Correct the position
of the washer and the threaded
union if necessary.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
The washing machine must not be
connected to a hot water supply.
