Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 50°) or cold water. Nevertheless 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.
The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances or
instantaneous water heaters.
The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash water returning
into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications.
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your
area.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or
the right to suit the installation.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being
connected up.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used in another
appliance.
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.
Water outlet hose connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected 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 siphon back into the machine.
