INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
Connecting the Water Inlet
Hoses
Before connecting the water inlet hose to the water
tap, check the hose fitting type and follow the
instructions for that hose fitting.
Note for Connection
• Water supply pressure must be between
50 kPa
and
800 kPa
(0.5 - 8.0 kgf / cm²). If the water
supply pressure is more than
800 kPa
, a
pressure reducing device should be installed.
• Do not overtighten the water inlet hose when
connecting it to the valve.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and
replace the hose if necessary.
• The water supply hose supplied may vary from
country to country. Make sure to connect the
blue supply hose to the COLD water tap, and the
orange supply hose to the HOT water tap.
Checking the Rubber Seals
Two rubber seals
a
are supplied with the water
inlet hoses. They are used to prevent leaks when
the connections to the taps are properly tightened.
Do not over tighten connections.
• Do not use mechanical devices such as multi
grips to tighten the inlet hoses. Ensure that the
curved end of the water inlet hose is connected
to the appliance.
Connecting the Hose to the
Water Tap
Connecting Screw-Type Hose to Tap with Thread
Screw the hose connector onto the water supply
tap. Hand tighten only with the aid of a soft cloth.
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 water inlet hose to the water inlet valve
on the back of the appliance.
• On models with only one water inlet, do not
connect the hose to the hot water supply.
Connect to the cold water supply only.
NOTE
• After completing the connections, check for
leaks and tighten or reassemble the connections
if needed.
