cabinets or anything else.

2. If the floor is not perfectly level, compensate for any

3.Make sure there are no kinks or bends in the hose.

!The water pressure at the tap must be within the values indicated in the Technical details table (on the page 5).

!If the water inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised serviceman.
