Getting Started: Installation (Cont.)

Connecting the water inlet hoses 

Install the water inlet hoses to your hot and cold water taps, as described below. 
•  Check and ensure that the sealing washers are firmly in place.
•  Attach the straight end of the hose to your water taps. Make sure to attach the 

hot water supply hose (with 

red

 markings) to the hot water tap and the cold water 

supply hose (with 

blue

 markings) to the cold water tap.

•  Tighten the coupling nuts securely by hand, as illustrated below (the sealing washer 

is a part of and located inside the tap end).

•  Attach the curved end of the hose to the corresponding inlet valve of the washer.
•  Tighten the coupling nuts securely by hand, as illustrated below.
•  Tighten the nut by turning it clockwise while holding the hose. (To detach the water 

supply hose, turn the nut anticlockwise after turning the tap off.)

•  Turn on the taps and check for leaks. Tighten the coupling nuts firmly if there is any 

leakage. If your water pressure is strong, close the water tap completely, then open 
it slightly.

•  Make sure your hot water from the tap is no hotter than 60°C.

IMPORTANT!

 

Both the hot water and cold water hoses must be connected to your taps.
