Water outlet hose connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following
ways: 

1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the 

work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink 
running into the machine. 

2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved 

plastic guide 

(if provided with the machine).

3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal 

diameter 4 cm. 

The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher. 

The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the
dishwasher 

Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent
or slow down the discharge of water. 

The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is
draining as this could cause the water to syphon back into the
machine. 

If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2
metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided. 

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for
connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided. 

Attention!
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect
against the return of dirty water back into the machine. 
If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated
this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher. 
We advise you therefore to remove it.

Electrical connection

Information concerning the electrical connection is given on the
rating plate on the edge of the dishwasher’s door.

Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure
that:

1. The mains voltage and current rating at the site of 

installation match the nominal voltage and current rating 
given on the rating plate. 

2. The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can 

all take the maximum load required. Make sure that the 
socket and plug are compatible without having to use any 
type of adaptor. If necessary, have the domestic wiring 
system socket replaced.

To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug.

Important!
The plug must still be accessible after the appliance
has been installed.

In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced,
please contact your local Service Force Centre.

The appliance should not be connected to the
electrical supply by means of an extension cable.

Safety standards require the appliance to be
earthed.
The manufacture accepts no liability for failure to
observe the above safety precautions.
