Water supply connection
This dishwasher may be fed with either
hot (max. 60°) or cold water. Neverthe-
less we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient
with very soiled crockery as it shortens
the washing programmes a lot.
For making the connection itself, the
coupling nut fitted to the machine’s sup-
ply hose is designed to screw onto a
3/4" gas thread spout or to a purpose
made quick-coupling tap such as the
Press-block.
The water pressure must be within the
limits given in the "Technical data". Your
local Water Authority will advise you on
the average mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked,
crushed, or entangled when it is being
connected.
The dishwasher features fill and drain
hoses which can be turned either to the
left or the right to suit the installation by
means of the locknut. The locknut
must be correctly fitted to avoid wa-
ter leaks.
Attention! NOT all models of dish-
washers have fill and drain hoses
provided with a locknut. In this case,
this facility is not available.
If the machine is connected to new pipes
or pipes which have not been used for a
long time, you should run the water for a
few minutes before connecting the inlet
hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses
which have previously been used for
an old appliance.
This appliance has been fitted with
safety features which will prevent
the water used in the appliance from
returning back into the drinking wa-
ter system. This appliance complies
with the applicable plumbing regu-
lations.
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.
