Installation instructions
Water supply connections
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4" inch gas thread spout.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical specifications". Your local Water Authority will advise you on the aver- age mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected up.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the locknut. The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. (Attention! NOT all models of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not possible).
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used in another appliance.
The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations.
