4.4.4 Connecting water supply
C
The water supply pressure required to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 10 MPa). It is
necessary to have 10 – 80 liters of water flowing from the fully open tap in 1 minute to have your
product run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is higher.
If you are going to use the double water-inlet product as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must
install the supplied stopper to the hot water valve before operating the product. (Applies for the
products supplied together with a blind stopper group.)
A
CAUTION: Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. In such a
case the laundry will get damaged or the product will switch to protection mode and will not operate.
CAUTION: Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on
your laundry.

such situations and make sure that the product and the machine performs water intake and discharge
processes without any problem, fix the drain hose securely.
• Connect the drain hose to a minimum height of 40 cm and a maximum height of 100
cm.
• In case the drain 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 excessively wet. Therefore, follow the heights described in the
figure.
100cm
40cm
• To prevent the waste water to go back into the product again and to ensure easy
drainage, do not immerse the end of the hose into the waste water or do not insert it
into the drain for more than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short.
• The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must
not be pinched between the drain and the machine.
• If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. Length
of the hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection
between the extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be fitted well with
an appropriate clamp as not to come off and leak.
