3.4 Connecting the water supply
1. Connect the special hoses supplied with
the product to the water inlets on the
product. Red hose (left) (max. 90 ºC) is for
hot water inlet, blue hose (right) (max. 25 ºC)
is for cold water inlet.
2. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use
a tool when tightening the nuts.
3. Open the taps completely after finishing
the hose connection and check for water
leaks. If there are any leaks, turn off the tap
and remove the nut. Retighten the nut
carefully after checking the seal. To prevent
water leakages and damages caused by
them, keep the taps closed when the
machine is not in use.
3.5 Connecting to the drain
The end of the drain hose must be directly
connected to the wastewater drain or to the
washbasin.
The hose should be attached to a height of
at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at the most.
Incorrect hose height results in water
discharge from the machine being more
difficult and the laundry may come out
excessively wet.
Ensure that the heights in the figure are
followed.
To prevent flowing of dirty water back into
the machine and to allow for easy discharge,
do not immerse the hose end into dirty water
and do not insert it more than 15 cm into the
drain. If it is too long, carefully cut it shorter.
The hose should not be twisted, bent or
squeezed shut and must not be stepped on.
If the length of the hose is too short, add an
original extension hose. The length of the
hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid
water leaks, the connection between the
extension hose and the drain hose of the
product must be securely fitted with an
appropriate clamp.
3.6 Adjusting the feet
1. Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by hand.
2. Adjust the feet until the machine stands
level and balanced.
3. Tighten all lock nuts again by hand.
Warning: Ensure that the end of the
discharge hose is securely fixed into its
housing to ensure the smooth flow of water
and to avoid any risk of flooding and injury
from hot water.
Warning: Ensure that the cold and hot water
connections are made correctly when
installing the product, to prevent your laundry
from coming out hot at the end of the
washing process resulting in undue wear.
Warning: To ensure that the machine
operates efficiently and vibration-free, it must
be level on its feet. Level the machine by
adjusting the feet. Failure to level and
balance the machine may result in machine
movement and vibration problems.
