16.1 Water connection
The appliance is designed for water pressure from 0.4 to 10 bar (0.04 to 1.0 MPa, 40 to
100N/ cm2). Install a pressure reducer for higher water pressure.
For ecological reasons, the connection to hot water can make sense if it is available from
an energy-efficient hot water heating system (such as a solar system). In this way you
can save energy for heating. A water temperature (temperature of the incoming water)
of 40 to 45°C and a maximum of 60°C is recommended.
Connection to hot water is not recommended if the water comes from an electric boiler.
It should be noted that if hot water is supplied, the appliance will take less time to heat
up, thus reducing the soaking time. This may have negative effects on the washing
result.
ATTENTION
RISK OF DAMAGE!
Do not connect the appliance to a water heater (instantaneous water heater,
unpressurised water tanks, e.g. under-sink units, etc.). Components such as water hoses
are not designed for temperatures hotter than 60 °C and can be damaged. In case of
damage, guarantee is excluded.
Install drinking water connection
Ensure that the appliance is connected to a water supply with a safety device against
drinking water contamination by backflow (according to DIN EN 1717). The connection
valves/water taps provided for this purpose are equipped with this safety device if the
house installation is correct.
Use a new water inlet hose with every new appliance.
Connecting the supply hose
1. Connect the water inlet hose to the ¾" threaded
connection of the tap. Ensure correct screw connection
(do not cant). Check tightness.
2. Ensure that the supply hose is not kinked or pinched.
➢ A cold water connection is recommended for the
appliance.
➢ The appliance is designed for connection to drinking
water.
➢ If the water pipe is new or has not been used for a
long time, let water run out to flush away impurities
and deposits.
