Water outlet hose connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:
1.To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine.
2.To a stand pipe provided with vent- hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm.
The waste connection must be at a maximum height of 60 cm from the bottom of the dishwasher.
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher
Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.
The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this could cause the water to syphon back into the machine.
The total length of the drain hose, including any extension you might add, must be no longer than 4 metres. The internal diameter of the extension hose must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic membrane (A) must be removed. Failure to remove all the membrane will result in food particles building up over time eventually blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot
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.
