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 and outlet hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation.
•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.
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.
Sink Waste System
Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 32 mm.
The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm (from 15’’ to 31’’) from the floor / surface where the dishwasher rests (A).
•before connecting the drain hose, remove any internal restrictions; this will prevent a build up of debris which could cause a blockage
•remove any restrictions from the waste spigot and ensure that the sealing bung is removed (B).
It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.
•Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose from the rear of the appliance.
•If fitting an under sink waste disposal unit, cut out the membrane, bung or blanking plug.
Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, to prevent it coming away while the machine is in use and causing a flood.
Fit hose to waste securely using a “Jubilee” type clip.
*Only available in selected models.
