Connecting to the water supply.
Important:
• The water supply pressure required to run
the machine must be 1-10 bar (0,1 – 1
MPa).
• Connect the special hoses supplied with the
machine to the water intake valves on the
machine.
• If you are going to use your double water-
inlet machine as a single (cold) water-inlet
45 - EN
unit, you must install the stopper*, supplied
with your machine to the hot water valve.
• If you want to use both water inlets of the
product, you can connect the hot water
hose after removing the stopper and gasket
group from the hot water valve.
* Applies for the products supplied with a blind
stopper group.
• Models with a single water inlet should not
be connected to the hot water tap.
When returning the appliance to its place after
maintenance or cleaning, care should be taken
not to fold, squeeze or block the hoses.
Connecting to the drain
The water discharge hose can be attached to the
edge of a washbasin or bathtub. The drain hose
should be firmly fitted into the drain as to not get
out of its housing.
Important:
• The end of the drain hose must be directly
connected to the wastewater drain or to the
washbasin.
• The hose should be attached to a height of
at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at most.
• In case the hose is elevated after laying it
on the floor level or close to the ground
(less than 40 cm above the ground), water
discharge becomes more difficult and the
laundry may come out wet.
• The hose should be pushed into the
drainage for more than 15 cm. If it is too
long you may have it shortened.
• The maximum length of the combined hoses
must not be longer than 3.2 m.

Electrical connection

Connect the machine to an earthed outlet
protected by a fuse of suitable capacity.
Important:
• Connection should comply with national
regulations.
• The voltage and the allowed fuse protection
are specified in the section "Technical
Specifications".
• The specified voltage must be equal to your
mains voltage.
• Connection via extension cords or multi-
