WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN
Cold water connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (inch) connector
and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place.
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period
of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of
impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet
can get blocked and damage the appliance.
Provided water supply hose has the aqua-safe system. Ensure that
water supply hose’s aqua-safe pipe is connected to the faucet.
Hot water connection
The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house hot water line (centralized
system, heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60 °C. In this case, the
wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash effi ciency slightly reduced.
The connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as those for
the connection to the cold water line.
Positioning the appliance
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind
it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with
water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate
proper installation.
How to drain excess water from hoses
If the sink is 1000mm higher from the fl oor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained directly
into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or suitable
container that is held outside and lower than the sink.
Water outlet
Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fi tted to avoid water leaks.
Ensure that the water inlet hose is not kinked or squashed.
Extension hose
If you need a drain hose extension, observe to use a similar drain hose.
It must be no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be
reduced.
Syphon connection
The waste connection must be at a height of between 40 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum)
from the bottom of the dishwasher. The water drain hose should be fi xed by a hose clip.
Aqua-safe
The Aqua-safe System is a safety valve system, preventing you from water leaks. If the water
inlet hose starts to leak anytime, the safety valve cuts off the running water. If water inlet hose or
the safety valve is damaged, remove & replace it.
Do not enlarge or shorten the inlet hose.
