Note: Water inlet hose: do not kink,
crush, modify or sever (strength is no
longer guaranteed).
Optimum water pressure in the mains:
100–1000 kPa (1–10 bar)
■ When the tap is turned on, the water
flow is at least 8 l/min.
■ If the water pressure is higher, install
a pressure reducing valve.
1. Connect the water supply hose (¾" =
