Connecting the water supplies
Connection to the water and electricity supplies
should only be performed by a qualified technician.
The dishwasher should not stand on top of the
water hoses or the electricity supply cable.
Connecting the water inlet hose
The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the
electricity supply cable may be positioned towards
the right or the left in order to achieve the best
possible installation ( see figure ).
• To a suitable cold water connection point: before
attaching the hose, run the water until it is
perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be
present in the water do not clog the appliance;
after performing this operation, screw the inlet
hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded
connection.
• To a suitable hot water connection point: your
dishwasher may be provided with hot water from
the mains supply (if you have a central heating
system with radiators) provided that it does not
exceed a temperature of 60°C.
Screw the hose to the tap as described for
connection to a cold water supply.
If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialist store or an authorised technician ( see
Assistance ).
The water pressure must be within the values
indicated in the Technical data table ( see
Installation ).
The hose should not be bent or compressed.
The appliance must be connected to the water
supply network using new hoses.
Do not use old hoses.
Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected
and the old hose is disposed of safely.
DO NOT overtighten the hose connector, hand
tight is sufficient.
Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.
Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are
available to suit your tap.
DO NOT connect the dishwasher to a single
outlet instantaneous water heater or an electric
heater.
Standpipe
Ensure that the hose is not pushed too
far down the standpipe.
If the end of your drain hose is fitted
with ‘retaining flaps*’, ensure they are
inserted fully into the standpipe. This
will prevent the pipe from jumping out during
installation and use.
DO NOT position the standpipe near an
electrical outlet.
ENSURE that the drain hose is not kinked and it
is routed as shown in the diagram.
The standpipe should have a bore of at least 38mm
(11/2”). It should be installed as shown, have a trap
fitted and must discharge into the same drain
system as your household sink.
It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water
drain.
