Connecting the dishwasher
Connecting to the water
supply
• The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot
water supplies up to max. 60°C.
• The dishwasher must not be connected to open
hot water appliances or instantaneous water heat-
ers.
Permitted water pressure
Connecting the inlet hose
1 The water inlet hose must not be kinked,
crushed or entangled when it is being con-
nected.
Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 228-1:2000)
on the water inlet hose to a tap with an external
thread (¾ inch). The inlet hose is fitted with either a
plastic or a metal nut:
– Only tighten the nut hand tight.
Then do a visual check for water tightness. (Make
sure that the tap is not dripping.)
3 So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not
restricted by the use of the dishwasher, we
recommend installing an additional tap, or fit-
ting a T-branch to the existing tap.
If you need a longer water inlet hose than that sup-
plied, the following VDE-approved complete hose
sets are to be used. These are available from your lo-
cal dealer.
– Hose kit “WRflex 100” (Code: 911 239 034)
– Hose kit “WRflex 200” (Code: 911 239 035)
Water drainage
Drain hose
1 The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or
entangled.
Connecting the drain hose:
– Maximum permitted height: 1 metre.
– Minimum required height: 40 cm above the bot-
tom edge of the appliance.
Lowest permitted water pressure:
0,1 MPa ( = 1 bar = 10 N/cm
2
)
Consult your plumber if the water pressure is less than
0,1 MPa.
Highest permitted water pressure:
1 MPa ( = 10 bar = 100 N/cm
2
)
If the water pressure is greater than
1 MPa, a pressure reduction valve must be used
(available from your dealer).
