Before connecting the device, allow enough water through to remove any remnants in the piping so that they did not get into the magnetic valves.
It is necessary to install a shut-off valve and mechanical filter between the plumbing and the device.
The inflowing water shall have a pressure value comprised between 150 (1,5 bar) and 200 kPa (2bar) and a maximum temperature of 30°C.
If the inflow pressure value exceeds 200kPa (2bar), a pressure reducer will have to be installed, calibrated at 200kPa (2 bar).
WATER CONNECTION

WATER TREATMENT
In order to ensure trouble-free operation of the device, the water should have a hardness of maximum 5°f to prevent lime deposits.
For higher values a water softening station should be installed first

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING : Main connections must be carried out by a qualified and authorized technician according to national, international and local laws in the country where it is installed.

Before mains connection, ensure that the frequency (…..V) and voltage (….Hz) meet the requirements indicated in the in the information tag on the back of the appliance.

WARNING : if the device does not come with a trolley to facilitate transport, it is advisable to connect it first then place it in position in the work area ensuring the cable is not damaged during placement. This enables easy and safe connection. Ensure that the cable is uniformly exposed to a room temperature no higher than 50°.

PROOFERS WITH CABLE AND SINGLE PHASE PLUGS
For appliance with cable and plug (single phase 220-240V) the plug merely needs to go into the appropriate socket (the socket must be adapted for the supplied plug and must withstand the voltage required by the appliance indicated on the information plate). The product must be positioned so that the plug is always accessible.
The appliance comes with certified cable and plug therefore they must not be tampered with or modified.
