Hose and cable lengths

Connection on left side or connection on right side

Note:

If the supply hose is too short for your connection, you can order an extension from the after-sales service.

Water inlet

Observe the following when connecting the appliance:

Notes

• Only operate the appliance using cold mains water.
• Do not connect the appliance to the mixer tap of an unpressurised hot- water boiler.
• Do not use a used supply hose. Only use the supply hose supplied or one that was purchased from an authorised specialist retailer.
• Do not bend, squash, modify or cut through the water supply hose otherwise its strength is no longer guaranteed).
• Only tighten the screw connections by hand. If the screw connections are tightened too much with a tool pliers), the thread may be damaged.

Optimum water pressure in the supply network

When the tap is open, the water flow is at least 8 l/min.

If the water pressure is higher than this, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed.

When water is being pumped away, the outlet hose is under water pressure and may slip out of the wash basin or connection point. Secure the drain hose so that it cannot slip out.

Connection

1. Connect the water supply hose to the water tap (3⁄4" = 26.4 mm) and to the appliance (*depending on the model):

- Model: Standard*

- Model: Aqua­Secure*

- Model: Aqua-Stop*

Tip: Connect also an external water filter (depending on the model) between water supply hose and tap. The filter filters dirt particles out of the water.

Water filter must be cleaned regularly to remove contaminants. This will prevent blockages. See also → separate installation and cleaning instruction for water filter.

2. Open the water tap carefully, checking the leak tightness of the connection points. The screw connection is under mains water pressure.

Water outlet

When you are washing at high temperatures, there is a risk of scalding if you come into contact with hot water e.g. when draining hot water into a washbasin). Do not reach into the hot water.

If the end of the drain hose is immersed in the drained water, water may be sucked back into the appliance and may damage the appliance/fabrics. Make sure that:

• The end of the drain hose is not immersed in the drained water.
• The water drains away quickly enough.

Note: Do not kink the water drain hose or put strain on it lengthways.

Connection

- Drainage into a siphon

The connection point must be secured using a hose clamp with a diameter of 24 - 40 mm (inside accessory).

Electrical connection

• Never touch or hold the mains plug with wet hands.
• Only pull out the mains cable by the plug and never by the cable, as this could damage it.
