5.4. Connecting to water supply
The water supply pressure required to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1
MPa). It is necessary to have 10 – 80 liters of water flowing from the fully open tap in 1
minute to have your machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if water
pressure is higher.
If you are going to use the double water-inlet product as a single (cold) water-inlet unit,
you must install the supplied stopper to the hot water valve before operating the product.
(Applies for the products supplied with a blind stopper group.)
WARNING: Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. In
such a case the laundry will get damaged or the product will switch to protection mode and
will not operate.
CAUTION: Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause
stains on your laundry.
Figure 5.5
WARNING: Ensure that the cold and hot water connections are made correctly when
installing the product. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot at the end of the washing
process and wear out.
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.

Figure 5.6
3 When hose connection is completed, check whether there is leak problems at the
connection points by opening the taps fully. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove
the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. In order to prevent the water
leaks and resultant damages, keep the taps closed when you do not use the product.
5.5. Connecting to water drain
The end of the drain hose must be directly connected to the wastewater drain or to the
washbasin.
WARNING: Your house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water
discharge. Moreover, there is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! To prevent such
situations and to ensure smooth water intake and discharge of the machine, fix the end of the
discharge hose tightly so that it cannot come out.
The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at most.
Figure 5.7
In case the hose is elevated after laying it on the floor level or close to the ground (less than 40
cm above the ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out
excessively wet. Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure.
To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the machine and to allow for easy discharge, do not
immerse the hose end into the dirty water or do not drive it in the drain more than 15 cm. If it is
too long, cut it short.
The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must not be
pinched between the drain and the machine.
2. Tighten all hose nuts by
hand. Never use a tool
when tightening the nuts.

B13 BETTER (B13 BEST APPEARANCE) WASHING MACHINE SERVICE HANDBOOK

If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. Length of the
hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the
extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an appropriate clamp
as not to come off and leak.
5.6. Adjusting the feet
WARNING: In order to ensure that the product operates more silently and vibration-free, it
must stand level and balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting the feet.
