34 electrolux installation
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.
(Attention! NOT all models 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 water for a few minutes before
connecting the inlet hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses
which have previously been used
for an old appliance.
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. 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 syphon 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.
