Levelling
Level the appliance by loosening or tightening the feet. Once in the right position fix the feet by turning the nuts against the base of the case. Accurate levelling will prevent vibration, noise and displacement of the appliance during operation. Some vibration is inevitable, especially if placed on a wooden floor. Wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibrations. For advice, consult a builder. If posible always place the appliance on a solid floor.
Hydraulic connection
Previously check that: — it is not a hot water tap. — the running water is clean. If not, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.
Have the permanent drainage system in the wall checked by a plumber.
Place the enclosed rubber joint, delivered in a plastic bag together with the appliance (A), at the very end of the inlet hose and carefully screw the pipe to the tap taking care not to damage the screwdrive and fix the nut well on to the end in order to avoid leaking.
If necessary turn the hose adequately by unscrewing the nut at the rear of the appliance.
Now retighten the nut to avoid leaks. (Open the tap and assure that it does not leak and close it again.)
Place the discharging hose in a washbasin or sink with the aid of the bent piece delivered separately. The bent piece has to be inserted into the tube’s mouth in order to assure support. This piece allows the hose to be fixed to the wall by means of an opening in the upper part and that way the hose does not move and its falling is avoided.
