When inserting the machine, ensure that the
water inlet hose, the drain hose and the sup-
ply cable are not kinked or squashed.
Fixing to the adjacent units
The dishwasher must be secured against tilt-
ing.
Therefore make sure that the counter it is
fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed
structure (adjacent kitchen unit cabinets,
wall).
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure
and sealing of the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the
door will not catch on either side of the cab-
inet .
If the door does not close correctly, loosen
or tighten the adjustable feet until the ma-
chine is perfectly level.
Water connection
Water inlet connection
This appliance can be connected to either a
hot (max. 60°) or cold water supply.
With a hot water supply you can have a sig-
nificant reduction of energy consumption.
This however, depends on how the hot water
is produced. (We suggest alternative sources
of energy that are more environmentally
friendly as e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels
and aeolian).
For making the connection itself, the cou-
pling nut fitted to the appliance water inlet
hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" thread
spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling
tap such as the Press-block.
The water pressure must be within the limits
given in the 'Technical data'. Your local Wa-
ter 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 con-
nected.
The appliance features inlet 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.
If the appliance is connected to new pipes or
pipes which have not been used for a long
time, you should run the water for a few mi-
nutes before connecting the inlet hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses which
have previously been used on an old ap-
pliance.
This appliance has been fitted with safe-
ty 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.
Water drain 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 run-
ning into the machine.
2. To a stand pipe provided with venthole,
minimum internal diameter 4 cm.
max 85 cm
min 40 cm
max 400 cm
The drain hose can face either to the right or
left of the dishwasher
Ensure the drain hose is not bent or squash-
ed 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 syphon back into the machine.
If you use a drain hose extension, its internal
diameter must be no smaller than the diam-
eter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the cou-
plings used for connections to the waste out-
let must be no smaller than the diameter of
the hose provided.
When connecting the drain hose to an under
sink trap spigot, the entire plastic mem-
brane (A) must be removed. Failure to re-
