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
recommended 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 responsible for damage
caused by the liquid soap.
The washer has connections for external dosing
of liquid soaps. A plastic hose connection is
3
located on the rear of the washer to connect the
liquid soap hoses. The connection has thirteen (13)
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 (8 maximum).
It is recommended to use the left nipples for
connecting the liquid soap pumps first and set
the flow rate of the pumps to 15.8–26.4 gal/hour
(60–100 L/hour). Use the large nipples when
using diluted soap; drill a 0.45" (11.5 mm) hole.
SUGGESTION: Add grease to the drill bit before
4
drilling to help catch drill particles.
NOTE: Gently remove the drill particles so that they cannot clog up
5 3
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/plug.
