Never move the product without the
transportation safety bolts properly
fixed in place!
3.4 Connecting water supply
CThe 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 one 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.)
A
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.
WARNING: Do not use old or used
water inlet hoses on the new product.
It may cause stains on your laundry.
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.
A
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.
2. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a
tool when tightening the nuts.
3. Open the taps completely after making the
hose connection to check for water leaks at
the connection points. If any leaks occur, 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.

WARNING: This appliance must be
earthed
If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for
your socket, then the plug should be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted.
Destroy the old plug, which is cut off as a plug

inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house.
The moulded plug on this appliance
incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need
to be replaced an ASTA approved BS1362 fuse
of the same rating must be used. Do not forget
to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the
fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a
replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour
of the replacement fuse cover must be the
same colour as that visible on the pin face of
the plug. Fuse covers are available from any
good electrical store.
