Electrical connection

Danger
Danger of injury by electric shock.
The appliance may only be connected to an
electrical supply which has been installed in
accordance with IEC 60364.
The voltage indicated on the type plate
must correspond to the voltage of the elec-
trical source.
The minimum fuse rating required at the
socket outlet is (see technical specifica-
tions).
The appliance should always be connected
to the electrical mains using a plug. It is for-
bidden to permanently connect the appli-
ance to the power supply. The plug is only
for mains separation.
Check the power cord with mains plug for
damage before every use. If the power cord
is damaged, please arrange immediately
for the exchange by an authorized custom-
er service or a skilled electrician.
The plug and coupling of the extension ca-
ble used must be watertight.
Use the extension cord that has an ade-
quate cross-section (see "Technical Data")
and unwind it fully from the cable drum.
Unsuitable extension cables can be haz-
ardous. Only use extension cables out-
doors which have been approved for this
purpose and labelled with a sufficient cable
cross section:
For connection values, see type plate/tech-
nical data.

Water connection

Connection to the water supply

separator as per EN 12729 Type BA. Water
flowing through a system separator is con-
sidered non-drinkable.
Caution
Always connect the system separator to
the water supply, never directly to the appli-
ance!
For connection values refer to technical
specifications
 Connect the supply hose(minimu length
7.5 m, minimum diameter 1/2") to the
water connection point of the machine
and at the water supply point (for e.g. a
tap).
