Installation Dimensions
Installation - Water Connection
Note - Plumbing connections must be made in such way that will allow the machine to be removed for service
and cleaning.
1. Connect the hose supplied with the machine to the inlet at the rear of the machine and the ¾” NPT
fitting on the water supply line.
2. Check the water inlet pressure is between 2-4 bar (29-58 psi) (not static). If it is more a PRV (pressure
reducing valve) must be installed. If it is less a booster pump will be required
3. Washing performance of the appliance depends on external conditions such as water inlet temperature,
pressure, hardness and chemicals used (detergent, rinse aid). To increase the service life and washing
performance of the appliance, supply water should be below 9 degree Clark. Otherwise a water softening
device should be fitted.
4. Water inlet temperature: 4-50°C.
Caution! Any damage resulting from the use of hard water will not be the manufacturer’s or
distributor’s liability, and voids the product warranty.
