Haier DW12-PFE1 ME, DW12-PFE1 S Installation, Positioning the appliance, Levelling the appliance

Installation EN

Positioning the appliance

Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dish- washer is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.

Levelling the appliance

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the dishwasher, making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2˚. If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.

Cold water connection

Connect the water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connector, making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.A). Some models are fitted with an "Aquastop" water supply hose (see fig.B) in which the small filter is already housed in the threaded end.

If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inletcan get blocked and damage the appliance.

Warning

The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old hose-sets should not be reused.

Drain hose connection

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. If necessary, fit a syphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for the drain hose (fig.C). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in water.

fig.C

Attention:

The connecting piece for syphon trap (U-bend) must be solidly fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill outside the drain.

Electrical Connection

After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and that the electrical system is correct for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law).

If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appro- priate for the plug, replace the whole cable, rather than using adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.

Anti-Flooding protection (for some models)

The dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply of water in the event of a problem with the water supply hose, or leaks within the unit, in order to prevent damage to your home. If for any reason the box containing the electrical components happens to get damaged, remove the plug for the appliance from the socket immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flooding feature operates properly, the "A" box with water supply hose must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in fig.B. No other type of connection is acceptable.The water supply hose must not, under any circumstances, be cut, as it contains electrical parts which are live. If the length of the hose is not adequate to make a proper connection, the hose must be replaced with one which is long enough. This hose is available upon request from specialised retailers and service center.

Caution:

The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be done safely.
