Installation
Connection to water
There must be a shut-off tap on the water
supply pipe. The shut-off tap should be eas-
ily accessible.
The water supply pipe has a connection with
a 1/2" or 3/4" internal thread depending on
country.
When the installation is complete, the shut-
off tap should be opened to allow the pres-
sure to settle for a while and to check that all
connections are tight.
Only use the inlet hose supplied with the
machine. Do not reuse old or other loose
inlet hoses.
Connect to hot or cold water?
If you use oil or electricity to heat your
home:
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water
supply.
If, on the other hand, you use district
heating, solar power or geothermal power:
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water
supply (max. 70°C).
Connection to electricity
A dishwasher fitted with a lead and plug
must be connected to an earthed socket.
Repairs and maintenance relating to safety
or performance must be carried out by a
qualified professional.
NB!
The hose must be fastened level with the
underside of the sink unit.
It must be discharged at least 350 mm
above the bottom of the machine.

Technical data
See the type plate on the right side wall.
CAUTION!
The lead must be removed from the socket
while the work is carried out!
Connection to drainage
When the drain hose is routed to a con-
nection nipple at the sink's water trap (see
illustration 1), note that the hose must be
fastened level with the underside of the sink
unit – otherwise the dishwater from the sink
can run down into the dishwasher. The
drain hose is threaded onto a cone-shaped
connecting pipe at the sink unit's water trap.
The cone-shaped pipe must be cut to an in-
ternal diameter of at least 16 mm. For other
alternative connections, see illustrations 2
and 3.
The drain hose may be lengthened by a
maximum of 3 m (the total length of the drain
hose may not exceed 4.5 m). Any connec-
tions and connecting pipes must have an
internal diameter of at least 16 mm. Howev-
er, the drain hose should ideally be replaced
with a new hose without joins.
Attach the drain hose with a securing clamp.
No part of the drain hose may be more than
950 mm above the bottom of the machine.
The hose must not be routed directly to
the floor drain or similar. In such cases, the
hose can act as a siphon and empty the
dishwasher.
