If the ventilation openings are covered, for example by a ventilation grill, the effective ventilation, as mentioned
above, will be reduced. So in that case there needs to be created extra ventilation! This must be taken into
account in advance, so that the minimum requirements for ventilation are maintained!
WATER CONNECTION
It is recommended that you consult a qualified plumber to ensure a safe and secure installation.
Two adaptors have been supplied with the product to connect the ¼ blue PVC pipe of the product to mains
water (Fig. 5.1). Either the white ½ inch or the grey ¾ inch adaptor can be used to connect the product to the
mains. For reference, the ¾ inch adaptor is the same connection used on most washing machine supplies. Once
the correct mains water connection has been installed, follow the steps below to connect your product to the
water supply.
1. With the water supply turned off, connect the correct adaptor to the main water supply (Fig. 5.1).
2. Position the water filter (Fig. 5.5) in a suitable location. This will need to be accessed for future
replacement. The two fixing clips can be used to fix the filter to a solid surface, if required.
3. Using a sharp knife or blade, cut two lengths of the blue PVC pipe. One length (Fig. 5.2) should be long
enough to travel from adaptor at the main supply to the ball valve (Fig. 5.3). The second length (Fig. 5.4)
should be long enough to travel from the ball valve to the inlet of the filter. When cutting the pipe, ensure
that the end of the tubing is cut square to prevent leaking.
4. Insert the cut pipe into the fittings, ensuring each one is pushed in fully. About 12 mm of the end of the pipe
should be inserted into each fitting. When inserting pipe into the filter, take note of the flow direction on the
filter and ensure the pipe from the main supply is fitted to the inlet of the filter.
5. Following the same steps above, cut a length of pipe (Fig. 5.6) from the outlet of the water filter to the ball
valve which has been supplied already connected to the product (Fig.5.7).
6. Before connecting the pipe to the ball valve on the product, flush out the newly plumbed pipe by opening
the valve and allowing water to flow. This is to prevent any debris from the installation from entering the
product. Once the piping has been flushed out, connect the pipe into the ball valve on the product.
7. Before fully installing the product, inspect all water connections by opening each of the valves in turn and
ensuring that no leaks are present.

Additional Information
Water Pressure: the water pressure on the appliance should be between 8Bar (800 Kilopascals) and 0.5Bar (50
Kilopascals). Where required, use a pressure reducing valve.
If the product is being supplied from a header tank, a head of at least 2 metres must be maintained above the
product.
