WARNING! A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
Connecting the appliance to the water supply Important: • This appliance must not be connected to the hot water supply. • When connecting the appliance, use only new hose kits. • Only connect the appliance to the drinking water supply. Rain water or water for industrial use may only be used if it fulfils the requirements of DIN1986 and DIN1988. • Do not kink or crush the water inlet hose or drain hose. Permitted water pressure The water pressure must be at least 1 bar (=10N/cm2 =0.
Water inlet 3 A 1.35m long pressure hose is supplied with the appliance. If a longer inlet hose is required, only hoses from the manufacturer are to be used. Your local Service Force stocks hose kits of different lengths. Sealing rings are either inserted in the plastic nuts of the threaded hose fitting or are included as spare parts. Do not use any other sealing rings. Important! All threaded hose fittings must only be tightened by hand. 1. Connect the hose with the right-angle connector to the machine.
Water Drainage The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. The standpipe should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe. Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks. When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the curve in the hose end is no more than 90 cm (35.4’’) and no less than 60 cm (23.
