Water connection
– To prevent leaks or water damage, you must observe the instructions
in this section.
– N.B.: Operate the washing machine only with cold drinking water.
– Do not connect to the mixer tap of an unpressurised hot water boiler.
– If in doubt, have a technician connect the appliance.
– Do not use a used inlet hose. Only use the inlet hose supplied or one
which was purchased from an authorised specialist retailer.
– The water inlet and outlet hoses can be routed to the left of right,
depending on installation conditions.
Water inlet
Do not allow the water inlet hose to be:
– Kinked or squashed, modified and cut (strength no longer guaranteed).
Note the water pressure in the mains supply:
– The water pressure should be between 50-900 kPa (0.5-9 bar) (at least
8 litres of water per minute flow when the tap is open).
– If the water pressure is higher, a pressure reducing valve must be
installed.
Connect the inlet hose to the ¾" cold water tap.
Tighten the screw connections only by hand. Do not remove the filter from
the inlet hose.
After connecting the water inlet hose:
– Open the water tap carefully, checking the leak tightness of the connec-
tion points.
– N.B.: The screw connection is under mains water pressure.
