Water connections
The washing machine is provided with safety equipment that pre-
vents dirty water from flowing backwards into the drinking water
supply pipes, in accordance with national water company specifica-
tions. Therefore there is no need to use any other additional
protection in the installation.
Warning! Washing machines designed to be connected to a cold
water pipe must not be supplied with hot water!
Allowable water pressure
The water pressure shall be not less than 0,5 bar (= 0,05 MPa) and not more
than 8 bar (
= 0,8 MPa).
Install a pressure reducer if the pressure exceeds
8 bar.
If the pressure is below 0,5 bar, unscrew the
supply pipe on the magnetic inlet valve on the
washing machine, and remove the flow regulator
(to do this, you will need to remove the filter
using pliers, and then rubber washer under it). Then put the filter
back into position. This work can only be done by a qualified installer.
Water supply
A 1.5 m long supply pipe is provided with the washing machine.
If you need to use a longer supply pipe, only use a complete set of
pipes fitted with installed screw-on end pieces, supplied by our After
Sales Service.
Warning! Never use odd pieces of pipe as extensions!
Sealing rings are supplied either inside the plastic nuts, or with the
accessories supplied with the washing machine. Do not use other
sealing rings!
