Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 228-1:2000) on the water inlet
hose to a tap with an external thread (¾ inch). The inlet hose is
equipped either with a plastic or with a metal connection nut:
–
Tighten plastic
hose connection nuts
by hand
only.
–
Metal

must be
tightened using an
appropriate tool
. Finally, visually check that it is water-tight (ensure
that the tap is not dripping).

• In order that access to the tap in the kitchen is not limited by the use
of the dishwasher, we recommend the installation of an additional
tap, or fitting a two way adapter to the existing tap.
• If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, VDE
approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available from
your local Service Force Centre.
• Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used for
another appliance.

Consult your installer if the water pres-
sure is less than 1 bar.

In the case of a water pressure greater
