Connecting the water supplies
EN
Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician.
The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses or the electricity supply cable.
Connecting the water inlet hose
The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation (see figure).
•To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection.
•To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be provided with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C.
Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply.
If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance).
The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see Installation).
The hose should not be bent or compressed.
The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using new hoses.
Do not use old hoses.
Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected and the old hose is disposed of safely.
Ensure the fill hose is only fitted to the cold water supply. DO NOT overtighten the hose connector, hand tight is sufficient.
Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.
Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are available to suit your tap.
DO NOT connect the dishwasher to a single outlet instantaneous water heater or an electric heater.
Standpipe
Ensure that the hose is not pushed too far down the standpipe.
If the end of your drain hose is fitted with ‘retaining flaps*’, ensure they are inserted fully into the standpipe. This will prevent the pipe from jumping out during installation and use.
DO NOT position the standpipe near an electrical outlet.
ENSURE that the drain hose is not kinked and it is routed as shown in the diagram.
The standpipe should have a bore of at least 38mm (11/2”). It should be installed as shown, have a trap fitted and must discharge into the same drain system as your household sink.
It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.
*Only available in selected models.
