position correctly.
Ensure that the connections are tight
and leak-proof.
Before using the appliance for the
first time, the water supply pipework
should be purged of air by a qualified
and competent person.
A stopcock  with a metric R3/4
thread must be incorporated when
connecting to the water supply.

back of the appliance at the bottom. It
also has a metric R3/4 connection.
