5.2 Connection to the water supply
Check that the intake water pressure, flow rate and temperature are as stated in the
dishwasher's technical characteristics. If the dynamic pressure exceeds the limit stated
in the technical characteristics, a pressure reducer must be installed. If the pressure is
lower, it might be necessary to fit a special pump to ensure optimal performance.
Connect the water intake hose to a connector with ¾" gas threaded fitting, inserting
the filter "A" provided. The tap must be easily accessible after installation of the
appliance.
Only use new hoses for connection to the water supply. Old hoses or hoses salvaged from
previous installations must not be used.
If the water supply system has been unused for a long time or if work has been done on it,
before connecting the appliance's intake hose run the water to flush the air and dirt from the
pipes.
FOR MODELS WITH A WATER SOFTENER
An "approved" double check valve or some other no less effective device providing backflow
prevention protection to at least fluid category two shall be fitted at the point of connection
between the water supply and the fitting or appliance.
FOR MODELS WITHOUT A WATER SOFTENER
An "approved" single check valve or some other no less effective device providing backflow
prevention protection to at least fluid category two shall be fitted at the point of connection
between the water supply and the fitting or appliance.
5.3 Drain connection
The dishwasher is fitted with a drain pump and can operate with drain connections on the floor or wall.
Before connecting the hose, check that the diameter and height of the wall drain connection are as stated
in the dishwasher's technical characteristics. When connecting the dishwasher's drain hose, take care to
avoid kinks, sharp bends or crushing. Since the drain water temperature can be very high, the end of the
drain hose must be fixed to the drain connection using the hose clamps provided.
The drain connection must be made in accordance with the relevant national regulations.
Substandard connections may cause flowback and in some cases pollution.
No extensions must be added to the drain hose supplied with the appliance. Any extensions
might cause drainage problems.
