that it is not crushed.
When your washing ma chine has two valves:
• T he inlet hose with the red connector is for the hot
water tap.
• I f the washing machine has two valves, power
saving is achieved through using hot valv e.
Water supply pressure must be bet ween 1.0-10 bar (100kPa~1000kPa)
Don’t strip or crossthre ad when connecting inlet hose to the valve.
If the water supply pressure i s more than 1000kPa, a decompression
device should be installed.
• The drain hose s hould not be placed higher than 100 cm above the floor.
• Proper secur ing of the drain hose will protect the floor from damage du e to any water leakage.
• If the drain ho se is too long do not force back into the washing machine. This will cau se unusual noise.
• Proper level-adjustment of the wa shing ma-
chine prevents excessive noise and v ibration.
Install the appliance on a s olid and level floor
surface, preferably in a co rner of the room.
• If the floor is uneven, adjust feet a s required.
