Installation and Connection Instructions INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS Installing the Dishwasher • The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted such that it is stable and level. • Using the spanner supplied, extend the threaded feet to compensate for unevenness in the floor and to adjust the height of the appliance to suit the surrounding units.
Installation and Connection Instructions Built-In Dishwasher (see enclosed installation instructions) Free-Standing Appliances 1 • Can be installed free-standing without additional fixings. If the dishwasher is installed next to a gas or solid fuel cooker, a nonflammable panel of thermal insulation must be fitted between the cooker and the dishwasher, the panel must flush with the upper edge of the work surface (depth 57.5 cm).
Installation and Connection Instructions Connecting the Dishwasher Water connection The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the return of wash water into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations. • The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up to max. 60 °C. • The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances or instantaneous water heaters.
Installation and Connection Instructions Water drain Drain hose 1 The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled. • Connecting the drain hose: – Maximum permitted height: 1 metre. – Minimum required height 30 cm above the lower edge of the machine. Extension hoses • Extension hoses are available from your dealer or customer service.

Installation and Connection Instructions Leak Prevention System For protection from damage due to water leaks, the dishwasher is equipped with a leak prevention system, the AQUA CONTROL SYSTEM. In the event of a fault, the safety valve immediately interrupts the supply of water to the appliance and the drain pump switches on. By this means water can neither escape nor overflow. The remaining water in the appliance is automatically pumped out.
Installation and Connection Instructions Connections The water inlet and drain hoses, as well as the mains cable must be connected beside the dishwasher because there is no space for them behind the appliance.
