Connecting the water supplies

 Connection to the water and electricity supplies

should only be performed by a qualified technician.

 

The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water

hoses or the electricity supply cable.

Connecting the water inlet hose

The water inlet  and outlet hoses and the electricity

supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the
left in order to achieve the best possible installation.

• To a suitable cold water connection point: before

attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly

clear so that any impurities that may be present in the

water do not clog the appliance; after performing this

operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with
a ¾ gas threaded connection.

• To a suitable hot water connection point: your

dishwasher may be provided with hot water from the

mains supply (if you have a central heating system

with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a

temperature of 60°C.

Screw the hose to the tap as described for
connection to a cold water supply.

 If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a

specialist store or an authorised technician (

see After

Sales Service

).

 The water pressure must be within the values

indicated in the Technical data table (

see Installation

).

 The hose should not be bent or compressed.

The appliance must be connected to the water

supply network using new hoses.

Do not use old hoses.

 Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected and the

old hose is disposed of safely.

 DO NOT overtighten the hose connector, hand tight

is sufficient.

 Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.

 Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are available

to suit your tap.

 DO NOT connect the dishwasher to a single outlet

instantaneous water heater or an electric heater.

Sink Waste System

Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain

duct with a minimum diameter of 32 mm.

The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to

80 cm (from 15’’ to 31’’) from the floor / surface where

the dishwasher rests (A).
• before connecting the drain hose, remove any

internal restrictions; this will prevent a build up of

debris which could cause a blockage

• remove any restrictions from the waste spigot and

ensure that the sealing bung is removed (B).

 

It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.

• Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose from the rear
of the appliance.

•  If fitting an under sink

waste disposal unit, cut

out the membrane, bung
or blanking plug.

 Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, to

prevent it coming away while the machine is in use and

causing a flood.

 Fit hose to waste securely using a “Jubilee” type

clip.
