If the water pressure is too high or
too low, the appliance may not be
able to operate properly.
Ensure that the water pressure in
▶
the water supply system is at least
30 kPa (0.3 bar) and max.
1000 kPa (10 bar).
If the water pressure exceeds the
▶
maximum value specified, a pres-
sure-reducing valve must be in-
stalled between the drinking water
connection and the hose set of the
appliance.

▶
the mixer tap of an unpressurised
hot-water boiler.
