Connection to the drainage system
– The dishwasher drain contains a built-in non-return valve which
prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the
drain hose.
– Ideally, the dishwasher should be connected to a
separate
on-site
drainage system. If a separate connection is not available, we
recommend connecting the dishwasher to a dual-chamber trap.
The on-site connection must be positioned between 12“ and
40” (0.3 m and 1 m) above the bottom edge of the dishwasher. If
the connection is lower than the minimum height, the drain hose
must be bent to maintain a height of 12“ (0.3 m).
– The dishwasher is equipped with a 59“ (1.5-m) long flexible drain
hose (clear width of 7/8” (22 mm)). Clamps for connecting the hose
are included with the dishwasher.
– Do not shorten the drain hose! The hose can be extended by a
connecting piece and an additional hose. The length of the
drainage line may not exceed 13' (4 m).
– The drainage system must be able to handle a discharge rate of at
least 4.2 g/min (16 l/min).
Make sure that there are no kinks in the hose, and that it is not
crushed or stretched.
