SECTION 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety
This appliance is not intended for use by children under 8 years or persons
(including children under 8 years) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Qualifications
To avoid hazards, all installation procedures must be carried out by a
suitably qualified tradesperson. The power cable and power outlet must be
in a safe visible position for connection.
Venting
Sometimes steam and / or boiling water droplets may discharge through a
vent outlet on the tap. If not using the font, ensure the tap body is located
so the tap outlet safely dispenses into the sink bowl.

limits.
If you feel this is beyond your personal capabilities, please seek assistance
with the lift. The weight of the Command Centre is marked on the
packaging. Do not lift the Command Centre by the front cover or any of its
connections.

Tips for hose connection
• Push the silicone hose over the
connector for a minimum of 15mm.
• Ensure there a constant fall from the
tap down to the command centre.
• Hoses must be trimmed to avoid
loops and kinks. Take care when
positioning before cutting and make
a clean cut straight across the hose,
using a sharp blade.
• The hoses must not be under tension
when installed.
