INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS Installing the Dishwasher • The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to ensure that it is stable and level. • To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the appliance to that of surrounding units extend the threaded feet by uns- crewing:...
Installation and Connection Instructions Dishwashers That Can Be Integrated (see installation template supplied) The door of the appliance can be fitted with a wooden furniture door with the following dimensions: Width: 591 – 594 mm Thickness: 16 – 24 mm Height: dependent on (variable)
Connecting the Dishwasher Water Connection The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations. • The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up to max.
Installation and Connection Instructions The following section is only applicable to dishwashers that have a safety valve on the threaded hose fitting for the tap: Water inlet hose with safety valve After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next to the tap.
In the case that you wish to hang the drain hose in a wash basin, use a detachable hose elbow. You can obtain this from AEG customer service under spare part number ET 646 069 190. 1. Fit the elbow to the drain hose.
Installation and Connection Instructions Leak prevention system To avoid damage caused by water leakage, the dishwasher is equipped with a leak prevention system. In the event of a fault, the safety valve in the appliance immediately interrupts the inflow of water and the drain pump is activated. In this way water can neither escape nor overflow.
Connections The water inlet and drain hoses, as well as the mains cable must be connected beside the dishwasher as there is insufficient space behind the appliance. The plumbing and electrical installation example given below can only be regarded as a recommendation; the actual situation where the dish- washer is to be installed will define the exact installation (available connections, local electricity and water board regulations for connec- ting up appliances, etc.).
