The water intake hose has to be fastened firmly enough for the hose to have a good seal.
After connecting the hose, the seal must be checked for any leaks.
Only use the water supply hose supplied with the appliance. Do not use any used or other hoses.
INFORMATION!
If the connection on the supply hose is of different dimensions than the water tap (e.g. 3/4” →
1/2”), use an adapter.
Connecting to hot/cold water supply
(Only available in some models)
If your appliance has connections for both hot and cold water, then connect one hose to the cold
water connection and the other hose to the hot water connection, as indicated on the back of the
appliance:
COLD = cold and HOT = hot.
Hot water is supplied for programs operating at 40 °C or more.
INFORMATION!
Connecting to both hot and cold water will save time and electric energy when washing.
If your washing machine model has connections for both hot and cold water, and you only wish to
connect cold water, then the protective cap has to be (or remain) attached to the hot water connection.
Installing the drain hose
Upon delivery, the appliance has a drain hose attached. This drain hose must be connected to a drain.
Drain hose can also be attached to a wall drain with a trap; such trap should be properly installed to
allow cleaning. The height of the drain should be 600–900 mm above the floor. The lower position
(600 mm) is always recommended. Make sure the drain hose is not clipped or bent.
