Water connection
Water inlet connection
• This appliance may be fed with either hot
(maximum 60 °C) or cold water. Nevertheless
we advise you use a cold water supply. A hot
water supply is not always efficient with heavily
soiled crockery as it shortens the washing
programmes a lot.
• For making the connection itself, the coupling
nut fitted to the appliance inlet hose is designed
to screw onto a 3/4" gas thread spout or to a
purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the
Press-block.
• The water pressure must be within the limits
given in the ‘Technical information’. Your local
Water Authority will advise you on the average
mains pressure in your area.
• The appliance features inlet and drain hoses
which can be turned either to the left or the
right to suit the installation by means of the
locknut. The locknut must be correctly fitted to
avoid water leaks.
• This appliance has been fitted with safety
features which will prevent the water used in
the appliance from returning back into the
drinking water system. This appliance complies
with the applicable plumbing regulations.
Water drain connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected in
the following ways:
• 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
appliance.
• To a stand pipe provided with venthole,
minimum internal diameter 4 cm.
max.
4000 mm
min. 400 mm
max. 850 mm
The drain hose can face either to the right or left
of the appliance.
Ensure the drain 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
appliance is draining as this could cause the
water to syphon back into the appliance.
If you use a drain hose extension, the 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.
Our appliances are supplied with a security
device to protect against the return of dirty
water back into the appliance. If the spigot of
your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated
this can prevent the correct draining of your
appliance. We therefore advise you to remove
it.
