Installation
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.
During all operations that involve
accessibility to internal components
the dishwasher has to be unplugged.
When inserting the machine, ensure
that the water inlet hose, the drain
hose and the supply cable are not
kinked or squashed.
Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with
either hot (max. 60°) or cold water.
However, a hot water supply is not
always efficient with very soiled crockery
as it shortens the washing programmes
a lot. Therefore we recommend
connection to a cold water supply.
The water coupling nut fitted to the
machine’s supply hose is designed to
screw onto a 3/4" BSP thread spout.
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.
When the dishwasher is likely to be
connected to a solar hot water
system, drip heater, or any other
supply where temperatures in excess
of 60° are anticipated, a water
temperature tempering valve should
be installed. A pressure reducing
valve must be fitted if the hot water
supply pressure can exceed 350 kPa
or the cold supply pressure can
exceed 800 kPa.
The water inlet hose must not be
kinked, crushed, or entangled when it
is being connected.
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.
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.
