Water Supply Connections; Water Outlet Hose Connection - Zanussi Electrolux ZDF 601 Instruction Book

Water supply connections

We recommend that this dishwasher is connected to your cold
water supply.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the
machine's supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" inch
gas thread spout.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the
"Technical specifications". Your local Water Authority will
advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled
when it is being connected.
The inlet hose must hang down vertically from the supply tap.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be
turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by
means of the locknut. The locknut must be correctly fitted
to avoid water leaks. (Attention! NOT all models of
dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In
this case, this kind of facility is not possible).
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have
not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a
few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses which have previously
been used for an old appliance.
This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will
prevent the water used in the appliance from returning back
into the drinking water system. This appliance complies with
the applicable plumbing regulations.

Water outlet hose connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following
ways:
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the
work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink
running into the machine.
2. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal
diameter 4 cm.
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher.
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the
dishwasher
Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent
or slow down the discharge of water.
The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is
draining as this could cause the water to syphon back into the
machine.
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
connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
Attention!
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect
against the return of dirty water back into the machine.
If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated
this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher.
We therefore advise you to remove it.
