Energy savings can be made by connect-
ing the appliance to a Solar water system
and using economy options, however the
water temperature must not exceed 60
°C.
Inlet water supply
• Water pressure: 800 kPa max - 50 kPa
min.
• Water flow rate 10 L / minute min.
• If water pressure is in excess of 800
kPa, a pressure reducing valve should
be used. Check for leaks.
• If water temperature is in excess of 60
°C, a tempering valve should be used.
Check for leaks.
CAUTION!
Always use new hoses when you
connect the appliance to the wa-
ter mains. Old hoses must not be
used. The water inlet hose must
be examined at an interval of
twelve months for deterioration
and replaced if necessary.
The water pressure must be in the limits,
refer to “TECHNICAL INFORMATION”.
Make sure that the local water authority
gives you the average mains pressure in
your area.
Water drain hose
The highest point of the drain hose must
be no more than 600 mm from the floor
and must have a continuous fall to the
plumbing connection.
The drain hose can be lengthened using
additional lengths and connectors. These
must be purchased from Electrolux Spare
Parts. The extension length must not ex-
ceed 2 metres.
The drain hose must be free of obstruc-
tions.
Remove the sink plug when the appliance
drains the water to prevent that the water
goes back into the appliance.
The appliance has a security feature to
prevent dirty water going back into the
appliance. If the spigot of the sink has a
non-return valve, this valve can cause the
appliance to drain incorrectly. Remove the
non-return valve.
Remove
entire
internal
membrane
If you connect the water drain hose to a
trap spigot under the sink, remove the
plastic membrane. If you do not remove
the membrane, remaining food can cause
a blockage in the drain hose spigot.
