Drainage
The machine drainage system is
fitted with a non-return valve, which
prevents dirty water from flowing
back into the machine via the drain
hose.
The dishwasher is supplied with ap-
prox. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose
with an internal diameter of 22 mm.
The drain hose can be extended
using a connection piece and an
extra drain hose, (up to max. 4
metres).
The connection socket on the dish-
washer can be turned. The hose can
thus be laid to the right or left without
needing to loosen the hose clip.
If the hose is to be directly fitted to
the drainage outlet on site, use the
hose clip supplied.
The on-site water pipe connection
for the drain hose may be designed
to fit more than one diameter of
hose. The connection socket must
be shortened if it juts too far into the
drain hose. Otherwise the drain hose
can become blocked.
The drain system must not exceed
4 metres. The drain pump has a
maximum delivery head of 1 metre.
The drain hose must not be short-
ened.
Venting the drainage system
Open the dishwasher door fully.
If the site drain connection is situated
lower than the guide path for the bot-
tom basket rollers in the open door the
drainage system must be vented.
Otherwise a siphoning effect during a
programme can cause the machine to
empty itself of water.
To vent:
Cut off the top of the vent valve in
the wash cabinet.
