Connecting the water supplies
! Connection to the water and electricity supplies
should only be performed by a qualified technician.
! The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water
hoses or the electricity supply cable.
Connecting the water inlet hose
The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the
electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the
right or the left in order to achieve the best possible
installation (
see figure
).
• To a suitable cold water connection point: before
attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly
clear so that any impurities that may be present in
the water do not clog the appliance; after
performing this operation, screw the inlet hose
tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded
connection.
• To a suitable hot water connection point: your
dishwasher may be provided with hot water from
the mains supply (if you have a central heating
system with radiators) provided that it does not
exceed a temperature of 60°C.
Screw the hose to the tap as described for
connection to a cold water supply.
! If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialist store or an authorised technician (
see
Assistance
).
! The water pressure must be within the values
indicated in the Technical data table (
see Installation
).
! The hose should not be bent or compressed.

! Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected and
the old hose is disposed of safely.
! Ensure the fill hose is only fitted to the cold water
supply. DO NOT overtighten the hose connector, hand
tight is sufficient.
! Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.
! Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are available
to suit your tap.
! DO NOT connect the dishwasher to a single outlet
instantaneous water heater or an electric heater.
Standpipe
Ensure that the hose is not pushed too
far down the standpipe.
If the end of your drain hose is fitted with
‘retaining flaps*’, ensure they are
inserted fully into the standpipe. This
will prevent the pipe from jumping out
during installation and use.
! DO NOT position the standpipe near an electrical
outlet.
! ENSURE that the drain hose is not kinked and it is
routed as shown in the diagram.
The standpipe should have a bore of at least 38mm
(11/2”). It should be installed as shown, have a trap
fitted and must discharge into the same drain system
as your household sink.
! It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.
