Installation and Connection Instructions

Connecting the Dishwasher

Water Connection

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.

•The dishwasher must be connected to a cold water supply.

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

Permitted water pressure

Lowest permitted water pressure:

Consult your installer if the water pres-

1 bar (=10 N/cm2 =100 kPa)

sure is less than 1 bar.

Highest permitted water pressure:

In the case of a water pressure greater

10 bar (=100 N/cm2 =1 MPa)

than 10 bar, a pressure reduction valve

 

must be used (available from your

 

dealer).

 

 

 

Connect the inlet hose

1

The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it

 

is being connected up.

0Connect 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 equipped either with a plastic or with a metal connection nut:

–Tighten plastic hose connection nuts by hand only.

–Metal hose connection nuts must be tightened using an appropriate tool. Finally, visually check that it is water-tight (ensure that the tap is not dripping).

3 • In order that access to the tap in the kitchen is not limited by the use of the dishwasher, we recommend the installation of an additional tap, or fitting a two way adapter to the existing tap.

• If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, VDE approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available from your local Service Force Centre.

• Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used for another appliance.
