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 hose available through
our After-Sales Service or your specialist retailer.
Periodically check the hose for brittleness and cracks. Replace it if
necessary by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or
your specialist retailer.
The washing machine can be connected without a non-return 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).
Connect the water drain hose
1. Unhook the drain hose from the left clip, see arrow "A" on picture.
Important:
Do NOT loosen the drain hose from the right connection, see
arrow "B" on picture. Otherwise, there is the risk of leakage and of
scalding with hot water.
2. Fix the "U" bend ("C") at the very end of the drain hose.
3. Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it over the edge of a
sink with the "U" bend and fix it properly.
Small hand basins are not suitable.
The edge of the sink must be no more than 100 cm from the floor.
If you need to add an extension, use a flexible hose of the same size
and secure the unions with screw-on hose clips.
Maximum overall drain hose length: 2.50 m.
Maximum drain height ("U" bend): 100 cm.
Minimum drain height: 55 cm.
Important:
Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose and take precautions
against it falling while the washing machine is running.
