Installation instructions

Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install

this appliance should be carried out by a qualified

electrician and/or plumber or competent person.

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.

If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a

drain.

Water supply connections 

This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold

water (See "Technical specifications" - Instruction book part 2).

Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.

A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled

crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.

The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water

appliances or instantaneous water heaters.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the

technical specifications. Your local Water Authority will advise

you on the average mains pressure in your area. 

The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled

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. 

The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the

wash water returning into the drinking water system and

comply with the applicable plumbing regulations.

Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been

used in another appliance.

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have

not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a

few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. 

Water outlet hose connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following

ways: 

1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the 

work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink 

running into the machine. 

2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved 

plastic guide provided (if provided with the machine). 

3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal 

diameter 4 cm. 

The waste connection must be at a height of between 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 water. 

The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is

draining as this could cause the water to siphon 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. 

Attention!

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 advise you therefore to remove it.
