Connect the water inlet hose to a water thread
with ¾“. Screw the hose firmly in the direction of
the screw thread; pay attention for a tight fit.
Connect the other end of the inlet hose to the inlet
valve on the appliance back; pay attention for a
tight fit too.
Connect the water drain hose
NOTE:
The drain hose has a length of approx. 1.5 m and,
contrary to the recommendation, could be extended
to a maximum of 4 m with a suitable hose connector.
CAUTION:
To prevent backflow of contaminated water, the free
end of the hose must not come under the water level
of the drain.
Connect the drain hose to a drain pipe with a
minimum diameter of 40 mm; alternatively, the
drain hose can be fixed to a sink or directly to the
drainage.
Always make sure that the hose is not bent or
squeezed. For this purpose, use a commercially
available hose retaining bend (a).
The hose must be installed at a height of min.
600 mm and max. 1000 mm above the floor.
Secure the hose securely to avoid a change in
position and with it a water leakage.
