Water outlet hose connection
The end of the drain hose can be con-
nected in the following ways:
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it
to the underside of the work surface.
This will prevent waste water from
the sink running into the machine.
2. To a stand pipe provided with vent-
hole, minimum internal diameter 4
cm.
The waste connection must be at a
height of between 30 cm (minimum) and
100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of
the dishwasher.
The drain hose can face either to the
right or left of the dishwasher
Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed
as this could prevent or slow down the
discharge of water.
The sink plug must not be in place when
the machine is draining as this could
cause the water to syphon back into the
machine.
If you use a drain hose extension it must
be no longer than 2 metres and its inter-
nal diameter must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the
couplings used for connections to the
waste outlet must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
When connecting the drain hose to an
under sink trap spigot, the entire plas-
tic membrane (A) must be re-
moved. Failure to remove all the mem-
