Connecting the Water
Supply Hose
Note for Connection
• Water pressure must be between 50 kPa and
800 kPa (0.5‒8.0 kgf/cm²). If the water pressure
is more than 800 kPa, a decompression device
should be installed.
• Periodically check the condition of the water
supply hose and replace the water supply hose if
necessary.
NOTE
• Do not overtighten the water supply hose or use
mechanical devices to tighten onto the inlet
valves.
• No further backflow protection required for
connection to the water inlet.
Checking the Rubber Seal
Two rubber seals are supplied with the water
a
supply hose. They are used to prevent water leaks.
Connection to taps is sufficiently tight.
• Do not use mechanical devices such as multi
grips to tighten the water supply hose. Ensure
that the curved end of the water supply hose is
connected to the appliance.
Connecting the Hose to the
Water Tap
Connecting Screw-Type Hose to Tap with Thread

INSTALLATION
cloth. Do not overtighten the supply hose with any
mechanical device.
NOTE
• After connecting the water inlet hose to the
water tap, turn on the water tap to flush out
foreign substances (dirt, sand, sawdust, and etc.)
in the water lines. Let the water drain into a
bucket, and check the water temperature.
Connecting the Hose to the
Appliance
Screw the supply hose to the water inlet valve on
the back of the appliance.
• Do not connect the hose to the hot water supply
for models with one water inlet. Connect to the
cold water supply only.
NOTE
• After completing connection, if water leaks from
the hose, repeat the same steps. Use the most
conventional type of tap for the water supply. In
case that the tap is square or too big, remove the
guide plate before inserting the tap into the
adaptor.
• Make sure that the hose should not be kinked or
trapped.
