Connecting water supply
The water supply pressure required to run the appliance is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1 MPa). It is
necessary to have 10 – 80 liters of water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute to have the
appliance run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is higher.
Warning: Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. Otherwise,
the laundry will get damaged or the appliance will switch to protection mode and will not operate.
Warning: Do not use old or used water supply hoses on the new appliance. It may cause stains on the
laundry.
1.
Connect the hose supplied with the appliance to the water inlet on the appliance.
2.
Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts.
3.
Open the tap completely after connecting 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, keep the taps closed when the appliance is not in use.
Connecting to the draining hose
The end of the draining hose must be directly connected to the wastewater drain or the washbasin.
Warning: The house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge.
Moreover, there is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures!
To prevent such situations and to ensure smooth water intake and discharge of the appliance, fix the
end of the discharge hose tightly so that it cannot come out.
The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at
most.
In case the hose is elevated after laying it on the floor level or close to
the ground (less than 40 cm above the ground), water discharge
becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out excessively wet.
Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure.
To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the washer and to allow for easy discharge, do not immerse the
hose end into the dirty water or do not drive it in the drain more than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short.
The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must not be pinched
between the drain and the appliance.
If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. Length of the hose may not
be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the drain
hose of the appliance must be fitted well with an appropriate clamp as not to come off.
