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.)
AModels 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.
2. Tightenallhosenutsbyhand.Neverusea
wrench when tightening the nuts.
3. 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

4EN
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driveitinthedrainmorethan15cm.Ifitis
too long, cut it short.
• Theendofthehoseshouldnotbebent,it
shouldnotbesteppedonandthehosemust
notbepinchedbetweenthedrainandthe

byaddinganoriginalextensionhose.Length
ofthehosemaynotbelongerthan3.2m.
To avoid water leak failures, the connection
betweentheextensionhoseandthedrain
hoseoftheproductmustbefittedwellwith
an appropriate clamp as not to come off and
leak.
