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.)
AWARNING: Models with a single water inlet should not
beconnectedtothehotwatertap.Insuchacasethe

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
