Water connection

Water inlet connection
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot
(max. 60°) or cold water. However a hot wa-
ter supply is not always efficient with heavily
soiled crockery as it shortens the washing
programmes a lot. Therefore we recommend
connection to a cold water supply.
The water coupling nut fitted to the appliance
water inlet hose is designed to screw onto a
3/4" BSP thread spout.
The water pressure must be within the limits
given in the 'Technical data'. Your local Wa-
ter Authority will advise you on the average
mains pressure in your area.
A water temperature tempering-valve must
be installed when the dishwasher is likely to
be connected to a solar hot water system,
drip heater, or any other supply where tem-
peratures in excess of 60° are anticipated.
A pressure reducing valve must be fitted if the
hot water supply pressure exceeds 350 kPa
or the cold water supply pressure exceeds
800 kPa.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked,
crushed, or entangled when it is being con-
nected.
The dishwasher features inlet and drain ho-
ses which can be turned either to the left or
the right to suit the installation by means of
the locknut. The locknut must be correct-
ly fitted to avoid water leaks.
Always use a new hose-set when con-
necting the appliance to the water
mains. An old hose-set must not be
reused. The water inlet hose should be
inspected every 12 months for deterio-
ration and replaced if necessary.
This appliance has been fitted with safe-
ty 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 inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double-walled water in-
let hose, the safety valve is next to the tap.
Therefore the water inlet hose is only under
pressure while the water is running. If the wa-
ter inlet hose starts to leak during this oper-
ation, the safety valve cuts off the running
water.
Please take care when installing the water
inlet hose:
• The electrical cable for the safety valve is
in the double-walled water inlet hose. Do
not immerse the water inlet hose or the
safety valve in water.
• If water inlet hose or the safety valve is
damaged, remove the mains plug imme-
diately.
