Water connection

Water inlet connection
This appliance can be connected to either a
hot (max. 60°) or cold water supply.
With a hot water supply you can have a sig-
nificant reduction of energy consumption.
This however, depends on how the hot water
is produced. (We suggest alternative sources
of energy that are more environmentally
friendly as e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels
and aeolian).
For making the connection itself, the cou-
pling nut fitted to the appliance water inlet
hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" 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 data'. Your local Wa-
ter 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 con-
nected.

water inlet hose, the drain hose and the sup-
ply cable are not kinked or squashed.

fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed
structure (adjacent kitchen unit cabinets,

locknut. The locknut must be correctly
fitted to avoid water leaks.
If the appliance is connected to new pipes or
pipes which have not been used for a long
time, you should run the water for a few mi-
nutes before connecting the inlet hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses which
have previously been used on an old ap-
pliance.
This appliance has been fitted with safe-
ty 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 drain 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 run-
ning into the machine.
2. To a stand pipe provided with venthole,
minimum internal diameter 4 cm.
