3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Water connection
Connection to the water supply
Please note the following to perform proper installation:
The machine must be connected to the water supply in strict accordance with current local
and national water authority regulations.
Use only the inlet hoses supplied with the machine;
Do not shorten or otherwise damage the inlet hoses supplied with the machine;
Minimum flow pressure is 100 kPa (1 bar). The maximum permissible water pressure is 800
kPa (8 bar).
A booster pump is required if flow pressure is below 100 kPa (1 bar).
If the pressure is higher than 800 kPa (8 bar) a pressure-reducing valve should be installed.
Softened water should be used if the average hardness of the water supply is above 7°fH
(3.93°dH, 0.7 mmol/l).
Connect to the water supply using a stopcock with a ¾” threaded union which is located
close to the machine for easy access. The valves must be easily accessible.
Ensure that the supply hose has a sufficient diameter and is suitable for the flow rate. A
stopcock must also be provided on site.
ATTENTION
See accompanying installation plan.
During machine installation, the installer must proceed as follows:
1. Identify the hoses supplied with the machine and make sure they are undamaged;
2. Connect inlet hoses according to the following chart:
CONNECTION COLOUR
