Installation Warning! • It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify the appliance in any way. • This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it. • Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. • Any electrical or plumbing work required to install this appliance must be carried out by a qualified electrician or plumber. Unpacking • Remove all packaging before positioning the appliance.
Water 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 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.
Electrical connection Warning! The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the following safety precautions. • Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed. • Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate. • Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket.
