The waterblock system
Fig. 1
A
The waterblock system has been designed to improve the
safety of your appliance, particularly when the machine is left
unattended.
The waterblock system actually prevents flooding which might
be caused by a machine malfunction or as a result of a fracture
on the pipes.
How does waterblock work
The sump located in the base of the appliance collects any
possible water leakage and operates a sensor which
subsequently activates a valve placed under the water tap and
stops any water from the supply even with the tap fully opened.
If the box containing the electrical parts is damaged, remove
the plug from the socket immediately.
To ensure perfect operation of the safety system, box “A” with
the hose, should be connected to the tap as shown in Figure
“1”. The inlet hose should not be cut, as it contains parts under
load. If the hose is not long enough for correct connection, it
must be replaced with a longer one. The hose can be obtained
from your Service Agent.
