Water connection

NOTE

All plumbing must conform to national
and local plumbing codes.

Incoming water lines do not require non-return or
back-suction valves, as the machine is already
fitted with a siphon breaker. However, all inco-
ming lines must be fitted with shut-off valves.

•

Use flexible water hoses of proper length to
avoid sags and kinks.

•

Water inlets are labelled for hot and cold
water connection.

•

Flush the water system thoroughly and check
that the filter at the machine inlet is fitted
correctly.

•

Connect the machine to the water mains with
3/4" reinforced rubber hosing not to exceed 6
ft in length. Hang the hosing in a large loop.
Do not use rigid piping.
