them to twist must not be present where the water
line is installed.
The pressure of the water system must be between
25-80 psi (1.7-5.5 Bar).
If the water pressure exceeds 80 psi, install a
pressure limiting device or water impact protector
to the inlet valve. Do not install or operate the
appliance if it is possible for the water pressure to
exceed 120 psi.

will need a hose with a minimum length of
60" (1.5 meters) and a diameter of ¼" for
the appliance's water connections during
installation. A connector that has a thread
with an external diameter of ¼" must be
used to connect the end of the hose to the
product.
Before completing the installation, make
sure that water flows and that there is no
water leakage.
WARNING:
• The level of the floor where the product
is to be installed must be checked with a
bubble level.
• The cabinet flanges must be checked
with a bubble level to ensure that they are
perfectly vertical.
• If the appliance is not perfectly level and
vertical, problems may arise with the
installation.
