Installation Notes

• When installing the water pipes, you should not install a drain stopper.
Furthermore, the screw nut on the water pipe bottom connector should
have no wire teeth exposed.
• If the inlet water pipe is 9mm, you should ensure that the inlet water
pipe and connector have 30-40cm of straight piping to avoid pipe
bursting accidents caused by bending of the pipe.
• If the power cord wiring needs to be longer, extend the cord according
to the wiring requirements and use an 8mm pinched tube to wrap
around the connection. Later, wrap insulating electrical tape
on the outside surface. Do not place the cord on the floor. The cord
should be suspended in the air or should follow a path above ground.
• During installation, make sure that there is no electrical wiring or water
pipes embedded inside the walls where you will do the drilling.
