3.3.2 Drawer Fronts
Prefinished drawer fronts are formed from a prepainted blank of steel. The drawer fronts
are attached to the tub by means of formed hooks and two pins which are inserted through
either side of the tub.
On the integrated model, the front panel supplied on each drawer is the mounting panel for
the joinery finished drawer front. The joinery finished drawer front is supplied by the
customer.

Filling

3.4.1 Cold Inlet
The tub of the dishwasher fills by a cold water inlet hose only. From the connection to the
cold water pipe in the kitchen, the inlet hose enters the cabinet of the dishwasher at the
base, onto a dual water valve. Each tub is supplied water independently via one of the dual
valve coils and a fill hose that runs through customised link assemblies at the back of the
tub and travels along the base of the tub under the wiring cover to the front. At the front of
the tub, the fill hose connects to the detergent dispenser which allows water to enter the
tub, firstly through the pre rinse section of the dispenser for the pre rinse cycle and
secondly through the main wash section for all other cycles.
3.4.2 Mixing the Detergent
Filling cold water enters the detergent dispenser, flushing the detergent from the cup,
through the dispenser into the tub.
3.4.3 Amount of Water
The tub fills with approximately 2.2 litres of water, level with the base of the spray arm
attachment. Once this level is reached, the wash pump (which has sensed the fill at 30
second intervals during the fill), becomes primed and pumps the water through the spray
arm which will then rotate.
The water level is monitored by sensing the motor load through the electronics.
