Connection to the water sup‐
ply
The
casing on the water inlet
hose contains electrical compo‐
nents. It must not be connected in
areas where there is the risk of water
or other liquids reaching it, e.g. bath‐
rooms.
The casing on the water inlet hose
must not get wet.
The protective sleeve of the hose
must no
t be damaged or kinked.
The washing machine should be con‐
nect
ed to a mains water supply in ac‐
cordance with current local and nation‐
al safety regulations. The German au‐
thorities do not require it to have a non-
return valve as the washing machine
has been designed to comply with DIN
regulations.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pr
essure of between 100
and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher than 1,000
kPa it is essential to fit a pressure re‐
ducing valve.
Connection to the mains water supply
shou
ld incorporate a mains stopcock
with a
3
/
4
" threaded union. The stop‐
cock should be fitted by a qualified
plumber.
The connection point is subject
t
o mains water pressure. Turn on the
stopcock slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the washer
and union if appropriate.
The washing machine is not
suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
