WATER CONNECTION

WATER INLET HOSE
Connect the appliance to a cold water sup-
ply.
Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with
an external BSP thread spout of 3/4".
Once connected the inlet hose to the water
tap, turn the tap on and check that there
are no leaks.
Inlet water supply
• Cold water pressure: 800 kPa max - 50
kPa min.
• Water flow rate 10 L / minute min.
• If cold water pressure is in excess of 800
kPa, a pressure reducing valve should be
used. Check for leaks.
Caution! Always use new hoses when
you connect the appliance to the water
mains. Old hoses must not be used.
The water inlet hose must be examined
at an interval of twelve months for
deterioration and replaced if necessary.
The water pressure must be in the limits,
refer to 'Technical data'.
Make sure that the local water authority
gives you the average mains pressure in
your area.
Make sure that the water inlet hose is not
bent or squashed.
Fit the hose nut correctly to prevent water
leaks.
Caution! Do not connect the appliance
to new pipes or pipes that have been
not used for a long time. Let the water
run for some minutes, then connect the
inlet hose.
WATER DRAIN HOSE
Use the supplied hose clamp to connect
the water drain hose to the sink.
The highest point of the drain hose must be
no more than 600 mm from the floor and
must have a continuous fall to the plumbing
connection.
The drain hose can be lengthened using
additional lengths and connectors. These
must be purchased from Electrolux Spare
Parts. The extension length must not ex-
ceed 2 metres.
The drain hose must be free of obstruc-
tions.
Remove the sink plug when the appliance
drains the water to prevent that the water
goes back into the appliance.
If you connect the water drain hose to a
trap spigot under the sink, remove the plas-
tic membrane. If you do not remove the
membrane, remaining food can cause a
blockage in the drain hose spigot
The appliance has a security feature to
prevent dirty water going back into the
appliance. If, the spigot of the sink has
a 'non-return valve', this valve can
cause the appliance to drain incorrect-
ly. Remove the non-return valve.
Caution! Make sure that the water
couplings are tight to prevent water
leakage.
Ensure that hoses are not bent or
squashed under or behind the appli-
ance.
Once connected the inlet hose to the
water tap, turn the tap on and check
that there are no leaks.
