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 '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.
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.
The water inlet hose is double-walled and has an inner mains cable and a safety valve. The
water inlet hose is under pressure only while the water is running. If there is a leak in the
water inlet hose, , the safety valve interrupts the running water.
Be careful when you connect the water inlet hose:
• Do not put the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water.
• If the water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, immediately disconnect the mains
plug from the mains socket.
• Only let the Service Force Centre replace the water inlet hose with safety valve.
