Water connection

Water inlet hose
Connected the appliance to a hot (max. 60°)
or cold water supply.
If the hot water comes from alternative sour-
ces 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.
We recommend that you install an IRG filter.
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 inter-
rupts the running water.

the Service Force Centre.
Be careful when you connect the water inlet
hose:
• Do not put the water inlet hose or the safe-
ty 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.
Warning! Dangerous voltage
Water drain hose
Make sure that the drain hose is not bent or
squashed to prevent that the water drains
does not drain correctly.
Remove the sink plug when the appliance
drains the water to prevent that the water
goes back into the appliance.
The drain hose connection must be at a max-
imum height of 70 cm from the ground.
