2. In the bottom of the machine:
The device comes into operation as a result of any water
leaks in the machine.

Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) 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.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been
used in another appliance.
The water supply hose is fitted with a safety device, which
prevents water from entering the machine should the inner
hose split, due to wear.
The problem is signalled by a red indicator which appears in
the window (B -
➀ ➁
).
The retaining ring (A -
➀ ➁
) must be properly fitted so as to
avoid water leaks.
Note:
Only for water supply hoses fitted with Lock-fast safety device
to prevent inadvertent loosening.
To detach the hose press yellow lever (C -
➁
) and turn the
retaining ring anticlockwise
