•If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.
Water connections
We recommend that this dishwasher is connected to your cold water supply.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4" inch gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick- coupling tap such as the
The inlet hose is fitted with either a plastic or a metal nut:
–Only tighten the plastic nut hand tight.
–You must tighten the metal nut using a tool.
Then do a visual check for water tightness (make sure that the tap is not dripping).
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical Data" shown on page 6. Your local Water Au- thority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entan- gled when it is being connected up.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the locknut. The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. (Important! NOT all mod- els of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not possible).
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the wa- ter for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses which have previous- ly been used for an old appliance.
This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will prevent the water used in the appliance from returning back into the drinking water system.This appliance complies with the applicable plumbing regulations.

Extension hoses
•Extension hoses are available from your local Service Force Centre. To ensure that the function of the appliance is not impeded, the internal diameter of extension hoses must be 19 mm.
•Extension hoses must not be laid more than a maximum distance of 4 metres horizontally; the maximum permit- ted height for the connection for the drain hose is then 85 cm.
Sink outlet connection
•The outlet of the drain hose (ø 19 mm) fits all commonly available sink outlet types. The outer diameter of the sink outlet connection must be at least 15 mm.
•The drain hose must be fixed to the sink outlet connec- tion using the hose clamp supplied.
