CONNECTION TO WATER SUPPLY
Water connection should be carried out by an
appropriately qualified person. Connect the machine
using the accompanying supply hose. Water pressure
should be 0.1–1MPa (approx. 1–10kp/cm2 ; 10–100N/
cm2). There should be a stopcock on the water pipe.
If the pipes are newly installed, it may be wise to flush
them through so that any dirt is washed away. Otherwise,
dirt can clog the filter in the machine’s water intake and
cut off cut off or reduce water flow to the machine. Check
for leaks.
Use only the supply hose supplied with the machine. Do
not re-use old hoses or other loose supply hoses.

that the drainage hose has no kinks.
600--900 mm
The machine can also be connected to the drain via a
spigot connection. In this case the hose should also be
600-900 mm above the floor. The internal diameter of the
