You should not need tools to make a satisfactory seal; excessive force may

damage the connections (Fig 10). It should be sufficient to firmly tighten

them by hand.

Permanent Plumbing

Please make provisions to shut off the water supply to the appliance completely. A separate isolation valve

should be fitted. This will:

1 Avoid the possibility of flooding when the machine is not in use.

2 Allow the appliance to be moved for cleaning and servicing. If you do not

have an existing installation for connecting your appliance, consult a

qualified plumber. There are various methods available.
