Positioning and connecting

17
■
Do not bend, squash, modify or cut
through the water supply hose
(otherwise its strength is no longer
guaranteed).
■
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
– Model:
Aqua-Stop
Tip:
Connect also an external water
filter (depending on the model)
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.

Warning
Risk of scalding!
When you are washing at high
temperatures, there is a risk of scalding
if you come into contact with hot water
(e.g. when draining hot water into a
washbasin).
Do not reach into the hot water.
Caution!
Water damage
When water is being pumped away, the
outlet hose is under water pressure and
may slip out of the wash basin or
connection point.
Secure the drain hose so that it cannot
slip out.
