Connecting the inlet hose
1
The water inlet hose must not be kinked,
crushed or entangled when it is being con-
nected.
Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 228-1:2000)
on the water inlet hose to a tap with an external
thread (¾ inch). The inlet hose is fitted with either a
plastic or a metal nut:
– Only tighten the nut hand tight.
Then do a visual check for water tightness. (Make
sure that the tap is not dripping.)
3
So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not
restricted by the use of the dishwasher, we
recommend installing an additional tap, or fit-
ting a T-branch to the existing tap.
If you need a longer water inlet hose than that sup-
plied, the following VDE-approved complete hose
sets are to be used. These are available from your lo-
cal service centre.

Consult your plumber if the water pressure is less than
1 bar.
If the water pressure is greater than 10 bar, a pressure
reduction valve must be used (available from your
dealer).
