Optimum mains water pressure is 0.03 - 
 
-
1.0 MPa. If the water pressure exceeds 
this value, install a pressure reducing 
valve.
Water-flow from the tap should be more 
 
-
than 5 L/min. Connecting the water-supply hose
Attach one end of the hose to 
1. 
the water inlet on the back of the

Connecting Hoses and Power Supply 
Leak-proof System
The appliance is installed with the 
system that is designed to prevent water 
leaks. The system includes the following 
components.
1) Leak sensorThis sensor will cease operation of 
the appliance if it detects any leaks. 
It is located on the base plate of the 
appliance. If a leak has been detected, 
an error display starting with H, for 
example, H 01, will appear. In that case, 
contact your local Customer Service 
Centre.
2) Overflow detection If water in the appliance increases to 
a certain level, this function stops the 
water supply and activates the drain 
pump.
Water-drain hose
Caution
Do NOT twist, pull out, or bend the 
drain hose.
Draining to a sink or wash-basin
Caution Secure the water-drain hose so 
 
-
that it will not come out of the 
basin.
Caution
Do NOT block the basin, where 
 
-
the drain outlet is. Make sure 
that drainage into the drain is 
sufficient.
Do NOT let the tip of the 
 
-
water- drain hose dip into the 
drained water.
This can cause water to flow back 
into the appliance.
