6 Water Connections
Plumbing: This machine is approved for all UK applications as suitable for category 5. The product is listed in the
WRAS regulations advisory scheme directory and is suitable for direct connection to mains drinking water. No special
plumbing arrangements e.g. break tanks are required.
Water Council approved double check valves should be fitted in between the stopcocks and the water inlet hoses.
All inlet connections to the machine are to be fitted with manual shut-off valves and filters, to facilitate installation and
servicing.
Note!
The inlet filter screens are provided inside the machine's connection fittings. Water pipes and hoses should
be flushed clean before installation. After installation, hoses should hang in gentle arcs.
The machine is equipped with two water inlet fittings, one for hot water and one for cold water. Those need only be
hand tightened when properly assembled.
If hoses are difficult to assemble, or leak after assembly, check that the hoses have been assembled with the proper
orientation and have a garden-hose washer in each swivel fitting. Your water heater should supply hot water at a min-
imum temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius) and a maximum of 170 degrees Fahrenheit (77
degrees Celsius).
The required water pressure is as follows:
• min: 50 kPa
• max: 800 kPa
recommended: 30-90 PSI (200-600 kPa)

Note!
If there is no hot water port in your environment, it's enough to connect only the cold water inlet with water.
