Water Supply Connections
This dishwasher must be plumbed into a cold water
supply and it is preferable for it to be permanently
plumbed in.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in
the technical specifications, as it will not function cor-
rectly if pressure is outside these specifications.
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the aver-
age mains pressure in your area. Where the water is
supplied via a cold water storage cistern, you can
work out the pressure yourself by measuring the verti-
cal distance (or «head») between the machine's inlet
hose and the outlet from the cold water storage cis-
tern, allowing roughly 1 psi for every 2 feet.
For making the connec-
tion itself, the coupling nut
fitted to the machine's
supply hose is designed
to screw onto either a 3/4
inch gas thread spout, or
to a purpose-made quick-
coupling tap such as the
fan
Press-Block.
To make this easier, the hose itself may be turned to
the left or the right. In either case, be sure to incorpo-
rate the strainer (A) supplied with the machine into the
joint. See picture.
Caution: the retaining ring must be correctly fitted to
avoid water leaks.
Avoid bends or kinks in
the hose which could pre-
vent
or slow down the flow
of water.
If the machine is connect-
ed to new pipes or pipes
which have not been used
for along time, you are ad-
vised to run the water fora
few minutes before con-
necting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of
sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.
Water Outlet Connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected as fol-
lows:
to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with
aclip;
to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum in-
ternal diameter 4 cm;
hooked over the edge of the sink using the special
curved plastic guide provided.
The waste connection must be at a height of between
30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the
floor.
It makes no difference which way the drain hose
faces, either to the right or left of the dishwasher.
Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could pre-
vent or slow down the discharge of water.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer
than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no
smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used
for connection to the waste outlet must be no smaller
than the diameter of the drain hose.

Note: The sink
plug must not be in place when the
machine is draining as this could cause the water to
siphon back into the machine.
