Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max.
60°C) 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 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 locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water
leaks.
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could
prevent or slow down the water supply.
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. This will prevent
deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose
filter.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut
fitted to the machine’s supply hose is designed to
screw onto either a 3/4 inch gas thread spout, or to
a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the
Press-block.
To make this easier, the hose itself may be turned
to the left or the right.
