Connecting water supply

The water supply pressure required to run
C
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.
If you are going to use the double water-inlet
C
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.)
If you want to use both water inlets of the
C
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.)
Models with a single water inlet should not be
A
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.
Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on
A
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.
Ensure that the cold and hot water connections
A
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.
Your house will be flooded if the hose comes
A
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 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.
