Power requirements: Please check the label of rated value of power supply system for knowing rated voltage and connect the machine to appropriate power supply. [10 A fuse required] and [Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker recommended]. [Only separate circuit suitable] for this machine.

Machine connection: Make sure that supplied voltage and frequency correspond to those on rating plate. Plug can only be connected to a properly grounded socket. If the socket that the machine must be connected to is not suitable for the plug, replace the socket, and do not use a power adapter that may cause overheating and burning.

Grounding Instructions: This appliance must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and earthed in accordance with all local standards and requirements.

Water connection

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded [3/4 inch] connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place. If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear. This precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water inlet to be blocked and damage the appliance. Clean the filter device of the water inlet pipe:
