A pipe or standard domestic fresh-water hose is required for the
water supply, with a minimum pressure of 1 bar (water must flow at
a rate of approximately 8 litres per minute with the tap fully open).
If the pressure is higher than 10 bar, a pressure reducing valve must
be inserted between the appliance and the water supply.
! Never connect the appliance to the mixer tap of an
unpressurizedwater heater. If in doubt have connectionsmade
by a qualified technician.
! Caution. Connections between the appliance and the water
supplymust be able to withstand the full water pressure. Check
the ring seal with the tap fully open.
! Remove the filter located at the end of the solenoid valve only
whenit needs cleaning. The other filter, located at the end of the
pipe inside the plastic locknut which screws onto tap, should be
cleaned in its tube (it cannot be removed).
! To avoid damage caused by leaks and flooding, the tap should
always be closed after the appliance has completed a cycle and
especially during long absences.
! Hand-tighten the plastic hose connection locknuts.
! Take care when fitting and connecting the appliance to the
water outlet system that the hose is not bent or twisted. Do not
pull on the hose.
! If the water is discharged via a sink, ensure that the outlet hose
cannot be dislodged. Check also that the water drains away
quickly enough. Ensure that the sink plug is not preventing
drainage. Risk of flooding..
