If necessary, level and stabilise the appliance us ing the adjustable feet. m Loosen the locknuts of the feet.
Connecting to the water supply (pic. 3)
The water inlet requires a cold water inlet pipe of the type commonly used in homes (included; two pipes in case of models featured for hot water), with a minimum pressure of 1 bar. If pressure is higher than 10 bar, a pressure-re ducing valve must be inserted between the ap pliance and the water supply. ! The appliance should be connected to the water supply using new feed pipes. The old feed pipes should not be reused. Do not connect the appliance to a mixer tap without the pressure of a boiler! If in doubt, you should get a specialist technician to as semble and connect the appliance to the wa ter inlet and outlet supplies. ! ! Warning! The connections or couplings between the appliance and the water supply withstand the maximum pressure. Check that the circuit is watertight by turning the tap on fully! Remove the filter at the end of the solenoid valve in order to clean it (see Cleaning / Mantei nance / Frost protection). The other filter, at tached to the tap, should be cleaned in the pipe itself (it is not detachable). In order to prevent damage caused by water leaks or flooding, the tap should always be turned off after the appliance has completed its work cycles and during lengthy periods of inactivity. Only tighten the plastic locknuts of the pipe's connections by hand.

Water drainage (pic. 4)

! When setting up and connecting the ap pliance to the water outlet supply, make sure the pipe is not bent or twisted. Do not pull the pipe! ! If draining through a sink, make sure the dis charge pipe cannot be moved from its loca tion. Also check the rapid discharge of water through the draining of the sink. Make sure the plug is not blocking the sink. Danger of flooding!

Connecting to the electricity supply
! The appliance must only be connected to an alternating current power supply via a socket that has been properly installed and earthed. The voltage which is given on the specifica tions plate must coincide with the mains volt age where the appliance is connected. The connection values and the fuses or trip switch that is required are given on the speci fications plate. Make sure that the socket and the plug con nected to the appliance are compatible and that the plug is properly earthed. ! ! ! ! Do not use multiple plugs, cables or connec tions or extension cables. In the event of using a current-operated cir cuit breaker, only one with the symbol 7 can be used. Only this type of protection switch will assure the observance of current regulations on the matter. Only remove the power plug from the mains by holding the plug itself. Do not insert or remove the power plug with wet hands.
