2.5 Connection of the water inlet hose
The appliance must not be connected to the mixer tap of an unpressurised water
heater.
Check the connections for leaks by turning the tap on completely.
If the water inlet hose is too short, replace it with a suitable length of a pressure-
resistant water inlet hose (1000 kPa/min).
Check the water inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace it if
necessary.
Do not use a water connection the water of which is warmer than 50 °C.
1. Ensure that the rubber washer is in the valve
connector (both ends

/ s. fig. on the right).
2. Attach the straight end of the water inlet hose to
the appropriate water connection (s. fig. on the
right). Tighten the hose by hand; do not use pliers
or similar tools.
3. Put the other end of the water inlet hose into a
bucket or into another suitable container (s. fig on
the right) and open the water tap to flush foreign
substances (e.g., dirt, sand, etc.) out of the water
pipe and of the hose. Check the water
temperature.
