Connection to the water supply


Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must correspond to the drinking wa-
ter specification of the country in
which the washing machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing machine
to the mains water supply.

Risk of electric shock from mains
voltage.
There are live electrical components
in the water inlet hose.
The water inlet hose must never be
connected in an area subject to spray
water, e.g. from a bath or shower.
The washing machine should be con-
nected to the mains water supply in ac-
cordance with current local and national
safety regulations. The German authorit-
ies do not require it to have a non-return
valve as the washing machine has been
designed to comply with DIN regula-
tions.
The water-connection pressure needs
to be between 100 kPa and 1000 kPa. If
the water-connection pressure exceeds
1000 kPa, a pressure reducing valve
must be installed.
A stopcock with a ¾ inch threaded
union is required for the connection. If
this is not available, only a qualified in-
staller may connect the washing ma-
chine to the mains water supply.
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.
