■
Only tighten the screw connections
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 is
at least 8 l/min.
If the water pressure is higher than this,
a pressure-reducing valve must be
installed.
Connection
1.
Connect the water supply hose to
the water tap (¾" = 26.4 mm) and to
the appliance:
– Model:
Standard
– Model:
Aqua
Secure
Tip:
Connect also an external water
filter between water supply hose and
tap. The filter filters dirt particles out
of the water.
Water filter must be cleaned regularly
to remove contaminants. This will
prevent blockages. See also
~
separate installation and cleaning
instruction for water filter.
2.
Open the water tap carefully,
checking the leak tightness of the
connection points. The screw
connection is under mains water
pressure.

Caution!
Water damage
If the drain hose slips out of the wash
basin or the connection point during
draining due to high water pressure, any
escaping water may cause water
damage.
Secure the drain hose so that it cannot
slip out.
Note:
Do not kink the water drain hose
or put strain on it lengthways.
You can lay the water drain hose as
follows:

Warning
Risk of scalding!
When you are washing at high
temperatures, there is a risk of
scalding if you come into contact
with hot detergent solution e.g. if hot
detergent solution is being drained
into a wash basin.
Do not reach into the hot detergent
solution.
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/fabrics
If the end of the drain hose is
immersed in the drained water, water
may be sucked back into the
appliance and may damage the
appliance/fabrics.
Make sure that:
– The plug does not block drainage
from the sink.
– The end of the drain hose is not
immersed in the drained water.
