Connect the water inlet hose
1. Carefully screw the water inlet hose to the valve on the rear side of
the washing machine ("A"); screw the other end of the hose to the
tap by hand.
2. Make sure there are no kinks in the hose.
3. Check water-tightness of tap and washing machine connections by
turning the tap completely on.
• If the hose is too short, replace it with a suitable length of pressure
resistant hose (1000 kPa min, EN 50084 approved type).
If you need a longer waterstop hose, contact our After Sales Service
or your dealer.
• Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace
if necessary.
• The washing machine can be connected without a backflow valve.
Water stop anti-flooding system
(see inlet hose type as shown on the right - depending on model)
• Screw the hose to the water supply tap. Turn the tap fully on and
check the water-tightness of the connection.
• The washing machine must not be connected to the mixing tap of a
non-pressurized water heater!
• The inlet hose and the plastic enclosure contain (depending on
model) electrical components: do not cut the hose and do not
immerse the enclosure in water.
• If the flexible hose is damaged, unplug the washing machine from
the mains immediately, turn off the tap and replace the hose.
If the flexible hose is too short, replace it with a 3 m Water Stop hose
(available from After-Sales Service or from your dealer).
