Water connection

Water inlet hose

Connected the appliance to a hot (max. 60°) or cold wa­ter supply.
If the hot water comes from alternative sources of ener­gy that are more environmentally friendly (e.g. solar or
photovoltaic panels and aeolian), use a hot water sup­ply to decrease energy consumption.
Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an external
thread of 3/4”.

Caution! Do not use connection hoses from an
old appliance.

The water pressure must be in the limits (refer to the
chapter 'Technical data'). Make sure that the local water
authority gives you the average mains pressure in your
area.

Make sure that there are no kinks in the water inlet hose
and that the water inlet hose is not squashed or entangled.
Turn the inlet hose to the left or the right to suit the in­stallation. Fit the locknut correctly to prevent water leaks.

Caution! Do not connect the appliance to new

pipes or pipes that are not used for a long time.
Let the water run for some minutes, then connect the
inlet hose.
