Water Connections - AEG 40809 User Instructions

Installation and connection instructions

Water connections

The washing machine is provided with safety equipment that prevents
dirty water from flowing backwards into the drinking water supply
pipes, in accordance with national water company specifications.
Therefore there is no need to use any other additional protection in
the installation.
Warning! Washing machines designed to be connected to a cold water
pipe must not be supplied with hot water!
Allowable water pressure
The water pressure shall be not less than 0,5 bar (= 0.05 MPa) and not more
than 8 bar ( = 0,8 MPa).
Install a pressure reducer if the pressure exceeds 8 bar.
If the pressure is below 0,5 bar, unscrew the supply pipe on the
magnetic inlet valve on the washing machine, and remove the flow
regulator (to do this, you will need to remove the filter using pliers,
and then rubber washer under it). Then put the filter back into
position. This work can only be done by a qualified installer.
Water supply
A 1.5 m long supply pipe is provided with the washing machine.
If you need to use a longer supply pipe, only use a complete set of pipes
fitted with installed screw-on end pieces, supplied by our After Sales
Service.
Warning! Never use odd pieces of pipe as extensions!
Sealing rings are supplied either inside the plastic nuts, or with the
accessories supplied with the washing machine. Do not use other
sealing rings!
