Water supply
The machine has an inlet hose with 3/4» threaded
ferrules fitted to the ends to attach between the threaded
connector on the appliance and the cold water supply.
The appliance must be connected to the water mains
using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be
reused.
The appliance must only be connected to the cold water
supply.
Connection to a warm water supply, that is over 40°,
may damage certain delicate fabrics.
Note: it is advisable to turn off the tap after each wash
to isolate the washing machine from the water supply.
If the inlet hose’s connection point is changed, check that the 3/4» threaded ferrule on the
inlet hose is firmly attached to the electrovalve connector.
For the washing machine to function properly the terminal end of the discharge hose
(mouth) must be at a minimum of 50 cm and a maximum of 85 cm from the ground.
