Water Supply - Samsung DW-BG970 Series User Manual

Improperly connecting the grounding conductor can result in electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or technician if you are unsure whether your dishwasher has been properly
grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
CAUTION

Water supply

Do not drink the water from inside the dishwasher.
WARNING
• The dishwasher may be connected to a cold or hot water supply, max 60ºC.
• A stopcock with a 3/4" male thread must be provided on tap.
• The water pressure must be between 0.05MPa and 0.8MPa. If the water pressure is to less, the water
supply valve may not operated properly causing the dishwasher to turn off. If the water pressure is too
high, a pressure reducer valve must be fitted.
You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:
• Making water taps easily accessible.
CAUTION
• Turning off the taps when the dishwasher is not in use.
• Periodically checking the fittings for leaks.
Using Aqua-Stop
The Aqua-Stop was invented as the perfect leakage protection system.
It is attached to the water supply hose and automatically cuts off the water flow in the event of damage to
the hose.
Aqua-Stop is an electrical component.
• Take care that you do not damage the Aqua-Stop.
CAUTION
• Do not twist or bend the water supply hose connected to the Aqua-Stop.
If the Aqua-Stop has been damaged, shut off the water taps and pull out the power plug right away.
Once these steps have been taken, contact Samsung Customer Service or a qualified technician.
CAUTION
Drain
If you are using a drain exclusively for the dishwasher, connect the drain hose to a drain that is between
30cm to 70cm off the ground.
Connecting the drain hose to a drain more than 80cm off the ground can result the water in the dishwater
flowing back or draining incompletely.
Flooring
For best performance, your dishwasher must be installed on a solid, even floor.
Wooden floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibrations. Carpeting and soft tiles are contributing
factors to vibrations and may cause your dishwasher to move slightly while operating.
Never install your dishwasher on a platform or poorly supported structure.
CAUTION
Ambient temperature
Do not install your dishwasher in an area exposed to freezing temperatures. Your dishwasher always retains
some water in the water valve, pump and hose and if the water freezes in the machine or hoses, it may
damage the appliance and its components.
