Water Connection - Bosch Nexxt 800 Serie Manual De Instrucciones

Water connection
Water supply
The washing machine must only be
operated with hot (max. 140 °F / 60
°C) and cold tap water. Do not
connect the appliance to the mixer
tap of an unpressurized hot-water
boiler.
If in doubt, have the water connection
installed by an authorized technician.
The water supply hoses must not be:
- Bent or flattened.
- Modified or cut (integrity can
no longer be guaranteed).
Properly secured EXTERNAL hose
connections are the sole
responsibility of the customer. The
manufacturer assumes no
responsibility or liability for
improperly installed EXTERNAL
hose or other connections.
Observe the water pressure in the
supply network:
The water pressure should be
between 20 and 120 p.s.i.
(1.37 and 8.3 bars) when the tap
is turned on and at least 2.2 U. S.
gallons (8 liters) of water should be
discharged per minute.
- A pressure regulator valve must be
installed if the maximum water
pressure is exceeded.
To prevent water damage, the hot
and cold water valves should be
accessible when the washing
machine is in place and should
always be turned off when the
washing machine is not in use.
If installing the washing machine in a
new building or a building in which
the plumbing system was recently
installed or upgraded, flush the lines
before installing the washing
machine to remove any sand, dirt or
residue.

E3 Plastic threads must only be
tightened by hand when
connecting the water supply hoses
to the back of the unit. Do not
remove the strainers from the
water supply hoses.
CI After connecting, turn on the water
completely, and check that
connection points are watertight.
Hose Extension
The AQUASTOP ® hose may not fit in
the space available at the wall faucet.
A short extension hose (part no.
645787 ) is available through customer
service (see page 27).
Other hoses
Available from appliance dealers:
- Extended supply hose
(approx. 96.1 in./2.44 m).
The connection points are under full
water pressure. Check seal with tap
fully open.
AQUASTOP ®
Upon leak or flood detection, a
stop-valve system in the hose, and/or
a floating switch in the base, trigger
machine cessation for virtual
containment (worst case scenario with
normal machine operation, 4 liters of
water may escape).
AQUASTOP ® is an internal
containment technology, and does not
protect against outside forces, such as
home plumbing problems, or damage
caused to the machine's hose (such as
installation damage). Machine must be
level and turned "on" for proper
functionality.
CI The AQUASTOP ® feature is not
active and will not operate if the
program selector is in the "Off"
position.
CI The washer must be level for
correct AQUASTOP ® operation.
AQUASTOP ® Hose
The AQUASTOP ® hose is an external
containment technology that prevents
potential flooding if the hose leaks.
If the hose leaks, a red mark is
displayed and the water inlet is
blocked.
E3 An AQUASTOP ® hose that has
activated cannot be reset. Contact
Customer Service for a
replacement hose (see page 27).
Water drainage
Do not bend or pull the water
drainage hose.
Height difference between the
installation location of the washing
machine and the drainage point:
Maximum 8 feet / 244 cm, minimum 2
feet / 60 cm (plus the height of the
pedestal, if the washer is installed on a
pedestal).
Connecting the water
drainage hose
E3
,
Do not remove the screw from
the clamp assembly. Loosen the
screw only enough so that the
clamp will slide freely onto the
water drain hose.
Place the hose clamp over the end
of the drain hose before attaching
the drain hose to the appliance.
