Installation and planning notes
12 PW 811 / PW 814 / PW 818
Water connection
The washing machine complies with current local and national
safety regulations protecting the drinking water supply and can
therefore be connected to the drinking water supply without a non-
return valve.
The machine is designed to operate with a supply pressure of be-
tween 14.5psi (1bar) and must not exceed 145psi (10bar). If it is
highter than 145psi (10bar) a pressure reducing valve must be used.
The machine must be connected to the water supply using the inlet
hoses provided.
The connection points are subject to water supply pressure.
Turn on the faucet slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the seal and union if necessary.
Cold water con-
nection
A supply faucet with ¾" threaded union is required for each connec-
tion to the water supply (single or double). If this is not present, the
washing machine should be connected to the water supply by a qual-
ified plumber.
The inlet hose for cold water (blue stripes) is not intended to be
used with a hot water supply line.
Hot water con-
nection
To minimize energy consumption during operation with hot water,
the washing machine should be connected to a hot water ring cir-
cuit.
So-called "transmission lines" (single lines to hot water generators)
can result in cooling down of the water remaining in the pipes if not
in constant use. More energy would then be consumed to heat the
water up again.
Use the inlet hose supplied (red stripes) for the hot water connection.
The temperature of the water intake must not exceed 158°F (70°C).
If there is no hot water supply at the installation location for the wash-
ing machine, the connection hose must nevertheless be connected to
the cold water supply. A Y-piece is required in this case. The cold wa-
ter consumption increases accordingly to account for the missing hot
water intake.
For functional and technical reasons it is not possible to operate
the machine exclusively with a hot water connection (without a
separate cold water intake).
Even if a hot water connection is present, the washing machine
must be connected to a cold water intake.
