Water Connection - Electrolux ESF66030 User Manual

Insert the machine after adjusting the level-
ling with the adjustable feet. When inserting
the machine, ensure that the water inlet and
drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.
During all operations that involve accessibility
to internal components the dishwasher has
to be unplugged.

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.
The appliance features inlet and drain hoses
which can be turned either to the left or the
right to suit the installation by means of the
locknut. The locknut must be correctly
fitted to avoid water leaks.
Attention! NOT all dishwasher models of
have inlet and drain hoses provided with
a locknut. In this case, this facility is not
available.
Be sure that once the appliance has been in-
stalled, it is easily accessible for the service
engineer in the event that a repair is required.
If the dishwasher is later used as a free-
standing appliance, the original worktop
must be re-mounted.
The plinth on free-standing appliances is not
adjustable.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure
and sealing of the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the
door will not catch on either side of the cab-
inet .
If the door does not close correctly, loosen
or tighten the adjustable feet until the ma-
chine is perfectly level.
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 inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double-walled water in-
let hose, the safety valve is next to the tap.
Therefore the water inlet hose is only under
pressure while the water is running. If the wa-
ter inlet hose starts to leak during this oper-
ation, the safety valve cuts off the running
water.
Please take care when installing the water
inlet hose:
• The electrical cable for the safety valve is
in the double-walled water inlet hose. Do
not immerse the water inlet hose or the
safety valve in water.
• If water inlet hose or the safety valve is
damaged, remove the mains plug imme-
diately.
