may be impaired if you use the

wrong quantity of fabric softener, de-

tergent, care product or cleaning

agent.

▶Follow the dosage recommenda-

tions from the manufacturer.

Exceeding the maximum load capa-

city impairs the function of the appli-

ance.

damage to the appliance.

▶Before starting up the appliance,

remove the transit bolts completely

and keep them in a safe place.

▶Before transport, fit the transit bolts

fully in order to prevent damage in

transit.

Material damage may be caused if

the water inlet hose is connected in-

correctly.

▶Tighten the screw connections on

the water inlet until they are hand-

tight.

▶Ideally, connect the water inlet

hose directly to the water tap,

without any additional connecting

elements such as adapters, exten-

sions, valves or similar.

▶Make sure that the valve housing

for the water inlet hose does not

come into contact with its sur-

roundings and is not subjected to

any external forces.

▶Ensure that the inner diameter of

the water tap is at least 17 mm.

▶Make sure that the length of the

thread on the connection to the

water tap is at least 10 mm.

If the water pressure is too high or

too low, the appliance may not be

able to operate properly.

▶Ensure that the water pressure in

the water supply system is at least

100kPa (1bar) and max.

1000kPa (10bar).

▶If the water pressure exceeds the

maximum value specified, a pres-

sure-reducing valve must be in-

stalled between the drinking water

connection and the hose set of the

appliance.

▶Do not connect the appliance to

the mixer tap of an unpressurised

hot-water boiler.

Modified or damaged water hoses

may result in material damage and

damage to the appliance.

▶Never kink, crush, modify or cut

through water hoses.

▶Only use the water hoses supplied

with the appliance or genuine

spare hoses.
