Electrolux ESL 6251 manual Connecting the dishwasher, Connecting to the water supply

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 heat- ers.

Permitted water pressure

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

Connecting the inlet hose

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

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.)

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

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