appliance taking care that the hose is not
kinked.

Turn the tap(s) on fully and check that the
joints at the washing machine and the tap(s)

If the hose is not long enough, replace it with
a suitable length of pressure-resistant hose
(approved under EN 500 65 to withstand a
minimum of 10 bar).
•
Check the hose regularly for brittleness and
cracks and replace if necessary.
•
The washing machine may be connected
without a non-return valve.

regarding connection to the water supply.
WATER STOP (depending on model)

The inlet hose and the plastic enclosure at
the water connection contain electrical
components.

Do not cut the flexible hose and do not
immerse the plastic enclosure in water.

If the hose is damaged, unplug the appliance
from the mains immediately.
•
If the hose is not long enough, replace it with
a 3 m long “Water Stop” hose (available from
After-Sales Service or a specialist dealer).
This must be done only by a qualified
electrician.
