Connecting water supply
C Thewatersupplypressurerequiredtorun
theproductisbetween1to10bars(0.1–10
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.
C 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.)
C Ifyouwanttousebothwaterinletsofthe
product, connect the hot water hose after
removing the stopper and gasket group from
the hot water valve. (Applies for the products
suppliedwithablindstoppergroup.)
A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.
A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.
AEnsure 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.
Tightenallhosenutsbyhand.Neveruseawrench
when tightening the nuts. 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.
Connecting to the drain
• Theendofthedrainhosemustbedirectly
connected to the wastewater drain or to the
washbasin.
A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.
• 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.
