Drain connection
This dishwasher is suitable for installing in a raised recess (to attain
an ergonomic working height). This means that the dishwasher can be
placed so that the drain hose runs to a lower level than the bottom of
the dishwasher, such as by routing it directly to a floor drain. The
dishwasher is fitted with an integrated anti-siphon device to prevent
the machine from being emptied of water during the wash cycle.
min.
1/2''
Max. 37 3/8''
The drain hose can also be connected to a connection nipple on the
sink unit's water trap. The connection nipple must have an internal
diameter of at least 1/2''.
The drain hose may be extended by a maximum of 87" (2.2 m) (the
total length of the drain hose must not exceed 177" (4.5 m)). Any joins
and connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 1/2''.
However, the drain hose should ideally be replaced with a new hose
without joins.
No part of the drain hose may be more than 37 3/8'' above the bottom
of the dishwasher.
Attach the drain hose with a hose clamp. Ensure that the drain hose
has no kinks.
Connection to water supply
Use only the inlet hose supplied with the dishwasher. Do not re-use
old or other spare hoses.
The supply pipe must be fitted with a water supply valve. The water
supply valve must be easily accessible, so that the water can be shut
off if the dishwasher has to be moved.
Once the installation is complete, turn on the water supply valve and
allow the pressure to settle for a while. Check that all connections are
watertight.
Water supply
The machine can be connected to either a cold or a hot (max. 160 °F
(70 °C)) water supply. The water pressure should be 4.2-140 psi.
Connection to cold water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is
heated using oil, electricity, or gas.
Connection to hot water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 160 °F (70 °C))
if the building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district
heating, solar power, or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water
connection cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's
energy consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain
materials used in some cookware cannot withstand strong heat. See
Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
Electrical connection
Information about the electrical connection can be found on the serial
number plate. This specification must match the electricity supply.
The power supply receptacle for the appliance must be installed in a
cabinet or on a wall adjacent to the undercounter space in which the
appliance is to be installed. Do not use an extension cord for this
appliance.
The access hole for the the electrical supplie must be round and smooth
and no bigger than 1 1/2'' in diameter. If the partition is metal, it needs
to be covered with an edge protector.
Use caution when the appliance is installed or removed to reduce the
likelihood of damage to the power supply cord.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing
a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord fitted with an equipment grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service representative if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance. If it does not fit the outlet, have an appropriate outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
