Water supply
It is necessary to connect to cold water. To do this, follow the instructions for use or read our recommendations:

- unplug the henka( connecting tube) of the mixer and remove the waterproofing;
- to the outlet of the water pipe attach tee;
- to the tee - filter: a filler hose is installed at one outlet, the other is directed to the mixer.
The joints for fastening securely with a fum-tape, winding it in 10-15 layers around the joint.
Why is a cold water connection recommended? Because the quality of cold water is much higher than hot. She immediately begins to run through the pipes after switching on, while the hot comes with a delay.
Important! Look at the technical specifications of the dishwasher. Some manufacturers "Bosch" indicate the water inlet temperature of +20 degrees. Therefore, connecting to the hot water supply, you risk losing the warranty.
Organizing the drain
By installing a new siphon, you can connect a drain hose to one of the branches. The diameter of the drain must match the size of the hose. It is important to follow the instructions in the manual to avoid unpleasant smell from the sewer.

Seal the connection with a clamp. Strong pressure can easily break the connection, which will lead to a flood.
