Connecting the dishwasher

Connecting to the water supply

•The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up to max. 60°C.

•The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances or instantaneous water heaters.

Permitted water pressure

Lowest permitted water pressure:	Consult your plumber if the water pres-
1 bar (=10 N/cm2 =100 kPa)	sure is less than 1 bar.
Highest permitted water pressure:	If the water pressure is greater than 10
	bar, a pressure reduction valve must be
10 bar (=100 N/cm2 =1 MPa)
	used (available from your dealer).

Connecting the inlet hose

1 The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it is being connected.

Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 228-1:2000) on the water inlet hose to a tap with an external thread (¾ inch). The inlet hose is fitted with either a plastic or a metal nut:

–Only tighten the nut hand tight.

Then do a visual check for water tightness. (Make sure that the tap is not dripping.)

3 So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not restricted by the use of the dishwasher, we recommend installing an additional tap, or fitting a T-branch to the existing tap.

If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, the following VDE-approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available from your local service centre.
