Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations requirements. A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa is required for safe
operation of the appliance.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.
