At the back of the appliance you
will see the water inlet valve (Fig.A)
*
Now you have to cut the pipe from the back of the appliance to the length it needs to be to attach to the water filter.
NB. The water filter is marked with an arrow to show the direction of water flow (ie. from tap to appliance).
Remember however, that the connection is being done FROM the appliance TO the tap (ie. in reverse of the water flow when in use).
*
You now need to cut the water pipe to the right length for the connection of the water filter. It is suggested that approximately 1.5m of
pipe is used - this should allow the filter to be located in an easily accessible position (it should be
replaced approximately every 6 months, according to use and conditions) and also allow some slack in
the pipe behind the appliance so that it can be pulled out for cleaning or servicing purposes.
*
Unscrew the metal threaded collar
and place it over one end of the
water pipe (Fig.B)
*
Push the water pipe onto the water
inlet valve firmly, tighten up the
metal collar (Fig.C)
* Unscrew the threaded
connector and place it
over the end of the cut
section of pipe coming
away from the
appliance.
Push the pipe over the
end of the water filter
that the arrow points
to and tighten the
threaded connector
(Fig.D)
* Repeat on the other
end of the water filter,
using the remainder of
water pipe (Fig.E)
* Run this section of
water pipe from the
water filter to the water
supply tap, making sure
it is not trapped or
kinked at all.
* Cut the pipe that is
connected to the
water filter to the correct
length. Again, make sure
that the cut is nice and
square to avoid leaks.
* Push the pipe into the
smaller hole of the
connector supplied in the
adaptor kit. The pipe
should be held firm.
(Fig.F)
* Place the threaded tap
connector over the long
part of the brass flange.
Firmly push the flange
into the other end of
the water connector
(Fig.G)
* Place the rubber washer inside the
threaded tap connector and screw onto
the water tap.
You must also ensure that the cut is square and not at any sort of angle as this could cause a leak.
