The appl ianc e is to be conne ct ed to th e water mains usin g new hos e- sets and that old
hose-sets should not be reused. Water pr es su r e 300 - 1000KPa. A Pressure limiting valve
is required where water pressure exceeds 1000KPa.

Cold wat er connectio n

Connect the water supply hose to a thr eade d 3/4” bsp connector,
making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.A).
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an ex­tended per iod of tim e, le t the water run to mak e sur e that the
