Hallo, ich habe eine Frage bezüglich der Installation meiner Waschmaschine selbst. Es klingt zwar nach einer einfachen Frage, aber Google hat mir nicht geholfen.
Muss ich den Wasserzulauf der Waschmaschine an diesen Wasserhahn anschließen? Ich bin hier etwas verwirrt. Muss ich diesen Wasserhahn jedes Mal öffnen und schließen, wenn ich meine Kleidung waschen möchte?
Und was sind diese beiden Knöpfe unter dem Wasserhahn, heißes und kaltes Wasser?

yes you should be able to connect your machine to this tap although you probably need some connecting part. washing machines usually have an [Aqua-Stop feature](https://www.google.de/search?client=safari&sca_esv=a68b741c7b814f76&hl=de-de&sxsrf=ADLYWIKfX4EE3awjBZKDrRsqpbnAMKhvdw:1728159266493&q=aqua+stop&udm=2&fbs=AEQNm0A6bwEop21ehxKWq5cj-cHa02QUie7apaStVTrDAEoT1FdmHTSMJP_rxgj2yFrTtBkypCVU7l67UhL5TgwwwP-w5wEQs9Tq0Yhm48JdNMzFcf7tsCJG7sRSDi3qOnXINGgDjgj0kX0qM3sMi9YQAPdi7GBHDmdWGyqJP1X6kcqqDLDzPTuwhmMB8vo1gCAfsw_ICWT7mNH_KG0YL9yoJOrbKs0JsK-KeuttrB1h5-dw0TjDR6w&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjV-8b5hviIAxWzX_EDHSzCBicQtKgLegQICRAB&biw=414&bih=671&dpr=2) so you can leave the tap open all the time and nothing bad should happen.
im not sure about these two other knobs. maybe they control the water flow in your bathroom? try it out if you are really curious i guess😅
The 2 knobs are the manual shut off valves for the bathroom (?).
The water tap you can hook up your washing machine, but this a very old type, where you can’t use the current typical water hoses of actual washing machine models… you need to used the tube directly to the tap, locked with a tube clamp .
And in this case, I would recommend to close the tap when the washing machine is not in use …
You should just close the tap each time to be safe.
With a correctly installed aqua stop hose that senses when the water is leaking and shuts off automatically this isn’t necessarily needed, cause the washing machine can only leak while running then.
Also need an adapter from normal washing machine to 18th century water tap, to fix it with a hose clamp.
Or have a plumber come exchange it for a more modern appliance tap where the washing machine hose will just screw onto.
The other two screws are likely the central shutoff for hot and cold water in your apartment.
Also: your washing machine cannot pump the waste water higher than its height, so id your outlet for waste water is high up on the wall, or even just a simple wash basin, but a washing machine that can pump higher than its height or the additional pump you can get on more expensive lines.
