Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together. For best results we recommend you use the cutlery grids.

Water connections Water inlet connection Water drain connection This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply. For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine’s 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 data". Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against the return 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. When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic membrane (A) must be removed.
Electrical connection Warning! 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.
