WATER INLET HOSE(S)

1. The mesh filter supplied with the appliance must be inserted in the connection between the supply hose and the tap.

2. Carefully screw the hose connection to the tap preferably by hand. Make sure there are no kinks in the hose and that it is not crushed.

3. Check water-tightness of tap and appliance connections by turning the tap completely on.

• If the hose is too short, replace it with a suitable length of pressure resistant hose (10 bar min., EN 50065 approved type).

• The appliance can be connected without a non-return valve.

• Install the appliance in accordance with regulations of your local water company.
