Water connection
–Risk of electric shock. Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety device in water
(contains an electric valve).
– To prevent leaks or water damage, observe the instructions in this
section.
–Caution: only operate the washing machine using cold drinking water.
– Do not connect to the mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-water boiler.
– Do not use a used inlet hose. Only use the inlet hose supplied or one which was
purchased from an authorised specialist dealer.
– If in doubt, have a technician connect the appliance.
Water inlet
Water inlet hose:
Caution: do not bend, squash, modify or cut through
(otherwise its strength is no longer guaranteed).
Optimum water pressure in the supply network: 100ä1,000 kPa (1ä10 bar)
– When the tap is on, the water flow is at least 8 l/min.
– If the water pressure is higher than this, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.
1. Connect the water inlet hose to the tap.
Caution: only tighten the screw connections by hand.
2. Open the water tap carefully, checking the leak
tightness of the connection points.
Caution:the screw connection is under mains water
pressure.
Water outlet
Water outlet hose:
Caution: do not bend or pull lengthways.
Height difference between the installation surface and the drain:
min. 60 cm - max. 100 cm
Outlet in a sink
Caution: secure the drain hose from slipping out.
Caution: the plug must not block drainage from the sink. During
pumping, check whether the water is draining away quickly enough.
The end of the drain hose must not be immersed in the water pumped
out. This risks water being sucked back into the washing machine.
Drainage into a siphon:
Caution: the connection point must be secured with a hose clamp,
Ø 24-40 mm (exclusive dealers).
