The washing machine must only
be operated
with cold and hot
(max. 140 °F / 60 °C) tap water.
Do not connect
the appliance
to
the mixer tap of an unpressuri-
zed hot-water
boiler.
If in doubt, have the water
connection
installed by an
authorized
technician.
Observe the water pressure in the
supply network:
The water pressure should be
between
14.5 and 145 p.s.i.
(1 and 10 bars) when the tap
is turned on, at least 2.2 U. S.
gallons (8 liters) of water should
be discharged
per minute.
-
A pressure regulator valve must
be installed if the maximum
water pressure is exceeded.
The water supply hoses must not
be:
-
Bent or flattened.
-
Modified
or cut (stability can
no longer be guaranteed).
Plastic threads must only be
tightened
by hand. Do not remove

To prevent water damage, the
hot and cold water valves should
be accessible
when the washing

always be turned off when the
washing
machine is not in use.
If installing the washing
machine
in a new building or a building in
which the plumbing
system was
recently installed or upgraded,
flush the lines before installing
the washing
machine to remove
any sand, dirt or residue.
After the connection,
Turn on the water completely,
and check that connection
points are watertight.
The connection
