Unpacking
● Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
● If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a
drain.
Water supply connections
We recommend that this dishwasher is connected to your cold
water supply.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the
machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4"
inch gas 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 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 by means of
the locknut. The locknut must be correctly fitted to
avoid water leaks. (Important! 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.
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.
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.
Important!
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 therefore advise you to remove it.
