37Connecting the dishwasher
Connecting the inlet hose
1 The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it is being
connected.
Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 2281:2000) 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 drip
ping.)
3 So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not restricted by the use of the dish
washer, we recommend installing an additional tap, or fitting a Tbranch to the
existing tap.
1 WARNING! Dangerous voltage
(This does apply to dishwashers with safety
valve).
The electrical cable for the safety valve is in
the doublewalled water inlet hose and is
live.
Therefore do not immerse the water inlet
hose or the safety valve in water.
