No further openings for the venting of the
dishwasher are required, but only to let the
water fill and drain hose and power supply
cable pass through.
The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet
to allow the adjustment of the height.
During all operations that involve accessibility
to internal components the dishwasher has
to be unplugged.
When inserting the machine, ensure that the
water inlet hose, the drain hose and the sup-
ply cable are not kinked or squashed.
Fixing to the adjacent units
The dishwasher must be secured against tilt-
ing.
Therefore make sure that the counter it is
fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed
structure (adjacent kitchen unit cabinets,
wall).
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure
and sealing of the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the
door will not catch on either side of the cab-
inet .
If the door does not close correctly, loosen
or tighten the adjustable feet until the ma-
chine is perfectly level.
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 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 inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double-walled water in-
let hose, the safety valve is next to the tap.
Therefore the water inlet hose is only under
pressure while the water is running. If the wa-
ter inlet hose starts to leak during this oper-
ation, the safety valve cuts off the running
water.
Please take care when installing the water
inlet hose:
• The electrical cable for the safety valve is
in the double-walled water inlet hose. Do
not immerse the water inlet hose or the
safety valve in water.
• If water inlet hose or the safety valve is
damaged, remove the mains plug imme-
diately.
• A water inlet hose with safety valve must
only be replaced by the Service Force
Centre.
