Power supply
Details on the mains voltage,
type of current and the neces-
sary fuse protection are to be
found on the rating plate. The
rating plate is above and
behind the door.
For permanent electrical con-
nection within the electrical
circuit, provisions must be made which allow for electrical disconnec-
tion of the appliance from the mains with a contact opening of at least
3 mm at all poles. Suitable devices include circuit breakers, fuses
(threaded fuses must be entirely removed from the socket), ground
fault circuit interrupters and contactors. Permanent connection may
only be carried out by an authorised electrician.
;
This appliance conforms to the following EC directives
– "Low-Voltage Directive" 73/23/EWG dated 19 February 1973
and Directive amendment 93/68/EWG
– "EMC Directive" 89/336/EWG dated 3 May 1989

Water Connection
3
Your washing machine is fitted with safety devices that prevent drink-
ing water contamination and comply with the regulations of the water
authorities in your country (e.g. in Germany: DVGW Directives). It is
therefore not necessary to take further protective measures in the
installation.
Permissible water pressure
Water pressure must be equal to a least 1 bar (= 10N/cm
2
= 0.1 MPa),
and no more than 10 bar (= 100N/cm
2
= 1 MPa).
• By more than 10 bar: connect a pressure reduction valve upstream.
• By less than 1 bar: Unscrew the flexible inlet tubing on the magnetic
inlet valve on one side of the appliance and remove the flow meter
(thereby remove the sieve by means of a pair of pointed pliers and
then remove the rubber washer behind it). Remount the sieve.
