Installation Instructions
12 / 32 110644
EN
CAUTION!
Choking hazard!
Prevent children from accessing packaging materials, for instance: plastic
bags and EPS.
•If the appliance is covered with a protective film, remove it. Remove the film
slowly, so no glue residues are left. Remove any glue residues with the use of a
suitable solvent.
•Be careful not to damage the rating plate and warning labels affixed to the
appliance.
5.2 Positioning
ATTENTION!
Before installation check if there are no objects nor materials in the
installation area that might get damaged by steam, which could get
out of the appliance during operation or, alternatively, make sure
that they are properly secured.
•Never place the appliance in humid or wet environment.
•Place the appliance in a way making the connections easily accessible, so that
they may be quickly disconnected if such a need arises.
•The appliance should be placed on a surface that is:
–even, with sufficient load-bearing capacity, resistant to water, dry and
resistant to high temperatures;
–sufficiently large, and thus enabling usage of the appliance with no
problems;
–easily accessible;
–well ventilated.
•The appliance should be installed only in a room, in which ambient temperature
falls in the range of 4–40°C.
•The relative humidity may not exceed the following values: max. 30% at 40°C /
max. 90% at 20°C.
•Do not install the appliance in an immediate vicinity of heat sources exceeding
50°C.
•Never subject the appliance to adverse weather conditions (rain, sunshine, etc.).

EN
•To provide for stability, level the appliance
by screwing the feet in or out.
•Correct levelling is indispensable in
ensuring optimum performance of the
appliance.
Fig. 13
5.3 Electrical Connection
•The power cord should be laid in a way preventing anyone from threading on it
or tripping against it.
•In normal operation or maintenance, the power cord cannot be stretched out nor
crushed.
•A universal main disconnecter must be used
that would disconnect all contacts, including
the zero distributor. The disconnected contact
must feature at least a 3 mm gap. The switch
must be activated by a thermo-magnetic
safety device or be coupled to fuses. The
fuses and the switch must be designed for the
power provided on the rating plate.
•The main switch must be located in the power
line near the installation place. Only one
appliance may be permanently connected to
the main switch.
•Verify if the technical specification of the
appliance (see the rating plate) corresponds
to the characteristics of the local electric
mains grid.
Fig. 14
•For the safety of the operator and the appliance, provide for proper grounding
pursuant to the safety regulations in force.
•The appliance complies with the EN/IEC 61000-3-11 standard, on condition that
the system impedance Zsys is lower or equals Zmax at the interface between the

•The appliance must be integrated with the potential safety equalization system.
Connection is executed via the screw with 5021 symbol, pursuant to IEC 60417
.
Potential equalization cord cross-section must be 10 mm².

Installation Instructions
110644 15 / 32
EN
5.4 Water Connection
•The appliance is connected with a hose to
a water supply system.
•Between the water connection and the
appliance's solenoid valve, a cut-off valve
must be installed. The cut-off valve must
be positioned in the vicinity of the
appliance.
•The water supply system, temperature and
pressure must comply with data on the
appliance's rating plate.
Fig. 15
•A water flow in the water supply system may not be lower than 20 litres/minute.
•With water hardness exceeding 14 °fH (8 °dH), it is recommended to use an
appliance with a built-in water softener. With water hardness exceeding 35 °dH
(19.5 °dH), it is recommended to install an external water softener before the
solenoid valve.
High electric conduction of water indicates a very high concentration of minerals
dissolved in water; in such a case, demineralization device should be installed.
•Appliances intended for operation with desalted water or water with high
concentration of sodium chloride should be ordered separately, as special
minerals are required for their construction.
•Appliances equipped with a heat recovery installation with copper tubing may
not be operated with de-mineralized water. In such cases, a version with heat
exchanger with stainless steel tubing should be ordered.
•Furthermore, when checking the water quality, the pressure of water supply
system must be taken into account. This parameter determines the correct
operation of the appliance.

•If the water pressure exceeds the recommended value, it is required to install a
pressure controller between the water supply system and the water connection
of the appliance.
•If the water pressure is below the recommended value, it is required to install
the booster pump at the water supply system connection.
•The appliance is intended to be connected to a permanent water mains
connection. When using warm water, the water temperature may not exceed the
values of 50°C/122°F.
5.5 Drain Connection
•Water drain tube must consist of a sump
with free drain trap. Dimensions must be
suitable for the flow rate of the drain hose
delivered with the appliance. The drain
hose must be introduced into the sump
without pulling, bending, clenching, kinking
and any other obstacles.
•Emptying the sump is executed by means
of gravitation, i.e. the drain must be located
below the bottom of the appliance.
•If the drain is not below the bottom of the
appliance (as in a model with drain pump),
the maximum allowable drain height is 1
metre.
•Check regularly if the drain works correctly
and for possible clogging.
•Any other solutions must be consulted with
and approved of by the manufacturer
beforehand.
