The waste connection must be at a height of be-

tween 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) 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 wa-

ter.

The sink plug must not be in place when the ma- chine is draining as this could cause the water to

syphon back into the machine.

If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter 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.

To avoid water leakage after installation make sure that the water couplings are tight.

Electrical connection

WARNING!

Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.

Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.

Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket. Multi-way plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used.

This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.

If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced. In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, contact your local Service Force centre.

The plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.
