Installation - Defy DTL148 Instruction Manual

Installation

Preparation of location, electrical,
tap water and waste water
installations of the machine are the
customer's responsibility.
Ensure that the water inlet,
discharge hoses and power cable
are not folded, pinched or crushed,
during or after installation or
cleaning procedures.
Warning: Prior to installation,
visually check if the machine has
any defects on it If so, do not
have it installed. A damaged
machine is a safety risk.
Appropriate installation location
Place the machine on a rigid floor that has

sufficient load carrying capacity.
Choose a well ventilated dry location out

of direct sunlight.
Do not place the machine on the power

cable.
Do not install the machine at places where

the temperature may fall below 0ºC.
Place the machine at least 10 mm away

from the edges of other furniture.
Hot and cold water taps should be located

within 1 metre of the inlet valves.
Connecting the water supply
The water supply pressure required
to run the machine is between 1 to
10 bars (0 1 - 1 MPa).
It is necessary to have 10 - 80 litres
of water flowing from the fully open
tap per minute in order to have
your machine run smoothly. Attach
a pressure reducing valve if the
water pressure is higher.
If you are going to use the double
water inlet machine as a single
(cold) water-inlet unit, install the
supplied stopper to the hot water
valve before operating the machine
(Only applies to machines supplied
with a blind stopper for closing off
the hot water valve)

Warning: Models with a single
water inlet should not be connected
to the hot water tap In such a case
the laundry will get damaged or the
product will switch to protection
mode and will not operate.
Warning: Do not use old or used
water inlet hoses on the new
machine. It may cause stains to
your laundry.
Connect the special hoses supplied with the
machine to the water inlets on the machine
Red hose (left) (max hot water temperature
for the machine is 60 °C) is for hot water
inlet, blue hose (right) (max 25 °C) is for cold
water inlet.
Warning: Ensure that the cold and
hot water connections are made
correctly when installing the
machine to prevent your laundry
coming out hot at the end of the
washing process and wearing out.
2. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use
a tool when tightening the nuts.
3. Open the taps completely after completing
the hose connection to check for water
leaks at the connection points. If any
leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove
the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after
checking the seal. To prevent water
leakages and damages caused by them,
keep the taps closed when the machine is
not in use.
