Connecting the inlet hose
1
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it is being con
nected.
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 dripping.)

So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not restricted by the use of the dishwasher,
we recommend installing an additional tap, or fitting a Tbranch to the existing tap.

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.
Lowest permitted water pressure:
0,1 MPa ( = 1 bar = 10 N/cm

)
Consult your plumber if the water pressure is
less than 0,1 MPa.
Highest permitted water pressure:
1 MPa ( = 10 bar = 100 N/cm

)
If the water pressure is greater than
1 MPa, a pressure reduction valve must be used
(available from your dealer).
