Water connection
Water inlet connection
This appliance can be connected to either a
hot (max. 60°) or cold water supply.
With a hot water supply you can have a sig-
nificant reduction of energy consumption.
This however, depends on how the hot water
is produced. (We suggest alternative sources
of energy that are more environmentally
friendly as e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels
and aeolian).
For making the connection itself, the cou-
pling nut fitted to the appliance water inlet
hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" 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 data'. Your local Wa-
ter Authority will advise you on the average
mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked,
crushed, or entangled when it is being con-
nected.
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.
If the appliance is connected to new pipes or
pipes which have not been used for a long
time, you should run the water for a few mi-
nutes before connecting the inlet hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses which
have previously been used on an old ap-
pliance.
This appliance has been fitted with safe-
ty 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:
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the
underside of the work surface. This will
prevent waste water from the sink run-
ning into the machine.
2. To a stand pipe provided with venthole,
minimum internal diameter 4 cm.
max 85 cm
min 40 cm
max 400 cm
The drain hose can face either to the right or
left of the dishwasher
Ensure the drain hose is not bent or squash-
ed 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, its internal
diameter must be no smaller than the diam-
eter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the cou-
plings used for connections to the waste out-
let must be no smaller than the diameter of
the hose provided.
When connecting the drain hose to an under
sink trap spigot, the entire plastic mem-
brane (A) must be removed. Failure to re-
move all the membrane will result in food
particles building up over time eventually
blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot
Our appliances are supplied with a se-
curity device to protect against the re-
turn 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
therefore advise you to remove it.
To avoid water leakage after installation
make sure that the water couplings are
tight.
