behind the appliance. It is recommended that you mount
the shut-off valve directly next to the appliance or at
another place which is easily accessible. When installing
the water connection, pay attention to the permissible
installation area for the water mains.
For connection to the drinking water mains use only
water pipes which are suitable for drinking water.
Observe national regulations and the connection
conditions of the local water supply companies.
