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 (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the
electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the
right or the left in order to achieve the best possible
installation (
see figure
).
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
Assistance
).
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.
Ensure the fill hose is only fitted to the cold water
supply. 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.
Standpipe
Ensure that the hose is not pushed too far down the
standpipe.
If the end of your drain hose is fitted with
retaining flaps
*
, ensure they are
inserted fully into the standpipe. This
will prevent the pipe from jumping out
during installation and use.
DO NOT position the standpipe near an electrical
outlet.
ENSURE that the drain hose is not kinked and it is
routed as shown in the diagram.
The standpipe should have a bore of at least 38mm (11/
2). It should be installed as shown, have a trap fitted
and must discharge into the same drain system as your
household sink.
It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.
