Observe the following when connecting
the machine:
Notes
In addition to the information listed
■
here, the local water and electricity
supplier may have special
requirements.
Only operate the washing machine
■
using cold mains water.
Do not connect the washing
■
machine to the mixer tap of an
unpressurised hot-water boiler.
Do not use a used supply hose. Only
■
use the supply hose supplied or one
that was purchased from an
authorised specialist retailer.
If in doubt, have the appliance
■
connected by a technician.
Water inlet
Notes
Do not bend, squash, modify or cut
■
through the water supply hose
(otherwise its strength is no longer
guaranteed).
Only tighten the screw connection by
■
hand. If the screw connections are
tightened too much with a tool
(pliers), the thread may be
damaged.
Optimum water pressure in the supply
network
At least 100 kPa (1 bar)
Maximum 1000 kPa (10 bar)
When the tap is open, the water flow
■
rate is at least 8 l/min.
If the water pressure is higher than
■
this, a pressure-reducing valve must
be installed.
Connection
Connect the water supply hose to the
tap (¾" = 26.4 mm) and to the
appliance (not necessary for AquaStop
models as this is permanently installed):

Caution!
Water damage
If the drain hose slips out of the
washbasin or the connection point
during draining due to high water
pressure, any escaping water may
cause water damage.
Secure the drain hose so that it cannot
slip out.
Notes
Do not kink the water drain hose or
■
stretch it lengthways.
