Notes
Do not bend, squash, modify or cut
■
through the water supply hose
(otherwise its strength is no longer
guaranteed).
Only tighten the screw connection by
■
hand. If the screw connections are
tightened too much with a tool
(pliers), the thread may be
damaged.
Optimum water pressure in the supply
network
At least 100 kPa (1 bar)
Maximum 1000 kPa (10 bar)
When the tap is open, the water flow
■
rate is at least 8 l/min.
If the water pressure is higher than
