Connecting To The Water Supply - Siemens electronic Operating Instructions And Installation

Connecting to the water supply

Appliance outlet
A pipe or standard domestic fresh-water hose is required for the
water supply, with a minimum pressure of 1 bar (water must flow
at a rate of approximately 8 litres per minute with the tap fully
open).
If the pressure is higher than 10 bar, a pressure reducing valve
must be inserted between the appliance and the water supply.
! Never connect the appliance to the mixer tap of an
unpressurized water heater. If in doubt have connections
made by a qualified technician.
! Caution. Connections between the appliance and the water
supply must be able to withstand the full water pressure.
Check the ring seal with the tap fully open.
! Remove the filter located at the end of the solenoid valve only
when it needs cleaning. The other filter, located at the end of
the pipe inside the plastic locknut which screws onto tap,
should be cleaned in its tube (it cannot be removed).
! To avoid damage caused by leaks and flooding,
the tap should always be closed after the appliance has
completed a cycle and especially during long absences.
! Hand-tighten the plastic hose connection locknuts.
! Take care when fitting and connecting the appliance to the
water outlet system that the hose is not bent or twisted. Do
not pull on the hose.
! If the water is discharged via a sink, ensure that the outlet
hose cannot be dislodged. Check also that the water drains
away quickly enough. Ensure that the sink plug is not
preventing drainage. Risk of flooding..
