• Two rubber seals are supplied with the water inlet hos es. They are used for preventing water leaks.
• Make sure the connection to taps i s tight enough.
• Periodically check the conditi on of the hose and replace the hose if necessar y.
• Make sure that there is no kink on the hose a nd that it is not crushed.
When your washing ma chine has two valves:
• The inlet hose with the red connec tor is for the hot water tap.
• If the washing machine has two valves, p ower saving is achieved through using hot valve.
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 hos e should not be placed higher than 100 cm above the floor.
• Proper secu ring of the drain hose will protect the floor from damage d ue to any water leakage.
• If the drain ho se is too long do not force back into the washing machine. This will c ause unusual noise.
• Proper level-adjustment of the w ashing 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.
