1. 1

   During a test run after installation, carefully inspect all water connection areas for any signs of leakage.

2. 2

   If a leak is found, first check if the connection nuts are tightened to the specified torque using a torque wrench (e.g., Rp 1¼” [117.6 N•m]).

3. 3

   Avoid overtightening, as this can damage the connection. Use two spanners for tightening.

4. 4

   If leakage persists, contact an installer for professional assistance.
