Connection to the water supply
Check that the intake water pressure, flow rate and temperature are as stated in the dishwasher's
technical characteristics. If the dynamic pressure exceeds the limit stated in the
technical characteristics, a pressure reducer must be installed. If the pressure is lower,
it might be necessary to fit a special pump to ensure optimal performance. Connect
the water intake hose to a connector with ¾” gas threaded fitting, inserting the filter
"A" provided. The tap must be easily accessible after installation of the appliance.

drain hose, take care to avoid kinks, sharp bends or crushing. Since the drain water temperature
can be very high, the end of the drain hose must be fixed to the drain connection using the hose
clamps provided.
