Installation
Water inlet
The dishwasher is equipped with safety features
which are to prevent the water from going back
to the fresh water system. These features are ac-
cording to current water technical safety regulations.
The dishwasher should be permanently plumbed into a
separate cold water supply.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the
technical specifications, as it will not function correctly if
pressure is outside these specifications.
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average
mains pressure in your area. Where the water is supplied
from a cold water cistern you can work out the pressure
yourself by measuring the vertical distance (or ‘Head’)
between the dishwasher’s inlet hose and the outlet from
the cold water storage cistern; allowing .86 psi for every 2
feet under normal conditions.
We would advise you to have a shut-off valve or stop-
cock in the water supply pipe close to the dishwasher
and accessible for easy use. This should be turned off
when the appliance is not in use. Connect the inlet hose
to a tap with a 3/4" pipe thread.
The inlet hose must not be joined onto any form of exten-
sion hose. If it is too short, the entire hose must be repla-
ced with a longer high-pressure hose, specially designed
for the purpose. The end of the hose, which is connected
to the dishwasher can be turned in any direction. Loosen
the retaining nut, turn the hose, then retighten the nut.
Check that the nut is tight before the machine is
moved into position.
Use only the inlet hose supplied to the dishwasher,
do not reuse the old inlet hose.
