Connection to the water supply
 Health risk and risk of damage
due to contaminated incoming water.
The quality of the incoming water
must correspond to the drinking wa-
ter specification of the country in
which the washing machine is being
operated.
Always connect the washing ma-
chine to the mains water supply.
 Risk of electric shock!
There are electrical wires in the water
inlet hose.
The inlet hose must not be connec-
ted in an area subject to spray water,
e.g. in a bathroom or shower room.
The washing machine should be con-
nected to the mains water supply in ac-
cordance with current local and national
safety regulations. The German author-
ities do not require it to have a non-re-
turn valve as the washing machine has
been designed to comply with DIN reg-
ulations.
The water-connection pressure needs
to be between 100kPa and 1000kPa. If
the water-connection pressure exceeds
1000kPa, a pressure reducing valve
must be installed.
A stopcock with a ¾ inch threaded
union is required for the connection. If
this is not available, only a qualified in-
staller may connect the washing ma-
chine to the mains water supply.
The screw thread is subject to water
connection pressure.
Check the connection for leaks.
Slowly open the stopcock. Correct
the position of the seal and screw
thread if necessary.
The washing machine is not suitable
for connection to a hot water supply.
The washing machine must not be
connected to a hot water supply.
