ferrules fitted to the ends to attach between the threaded
connector on the appliance and the cold water supply.
The appliance must be connected to the water mains
using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be
reused.

supply.
Connection to a warm water supply, that is over 40°, may
damage certain delicate fabrics.
