screws to protect the machine for future transit.

The Manufacturers will not be responsible for any

damage to the machine caused by not following the

instructions relating to releasing the transit protection.

The user is responsible for all installation costs.

Connecting the fill hose

This machine has an inlet hose with 19 mm (3/4”) threaded ferrules fitted to the

ends to attach between the threaded connector on the appliance and the water

supply.

Only use the new hose supplied to connect the machine and ensure that the

sealing washers are in place inside the hose connectors.

Do not re-use old hoses which are attached to existing installations.

Do not over-tighten the connections. Hand tight is sufficient.

Do not trap or kink the hoses.

Connect the straight end of the hose to the

stop taps.

40000400 English.qxd 26/08/2003 13:15 Page 8
