Installation and connection

This washing machine can be operated
with cold mains water and/or hot water.
Markings of water intake hoses
Cold water (tap
water)
= Blue stripes
Hot water = Red stripes
For technical reasons, the wash‐
ing machine must always be con‐
nected to cold mains water.
Cold water (tap water)
The washing machine is programmed
to cold water operation at the factory.
The other water intake hose can be
fixed at the back of the appliance.
Hot water
– If you wish to use a hot water con‐
nection with the washing machine, it
must be reprogrammed as described
in "Settings - Water intake".
– The temperature of hot water at the
mains water tap must not exceed
60°C. The preferred temperature is
55°C. Consult a plumber if the tem‐
perature at the tap exceeds 60°C.
– Before connecting to the mains water
tap, check that the outflow of cold
water does not exceed 5 litres. Each
additional litre of cold water reduces
the energy efficiency.
– If the hot water tap is turned off for
some time, the washing machine will
automatically switch to the cold wa‐
ter connection. This safety measure
is not intended for the permanent op‐
eration of the appliance. The washing
machine continues to wash using hot
water operation, but washing results
are worsened.
– If the programmed temperature when
Hot water + is selected is too
low, the washing machine automati‐
cally switches to cold water opera‐
tion. In a programme without Extra
options and without a part load, two
rinses with an increased water level
are carried out to achieve a good
rinsing result.
