Connection to water
There must always be a stopcock in the supply
line. The stopcock must be positioned above the
sink or on the front edge of the sink unit.
The inlet pipe has a union with a 1/2" or 3/4"
internal thread, depending on the country.
When installation is complete, open the stopcock,
leave the system under pressure for a time and
check that all connections are tight.
Connection to electricity
A machine equipped with a flexible cord and a plug
must be connected to an earthed electrical socket.
Technical data
See rating plate on the right-hand side of the door.
WARNING!
The flexible cord must be disconnected or the
electrical socket must be dead when working on
the machine!

Connection to drainage
When the drain hose is routed to a connection
nipple at the sink's water trap (see illustration ),
note that the hose must be fastened level with the
underside of the sink unit – otherwise the
dishwater from the sink can run down into the
dishwasher. The drain hose is threaded onto a
cone-shaped connecting pipe at the sink unit's
water trap. The cone-shaped pipe must be cut to
an internal diameter of at least 16 mm. For other
alternative connections, see illustrations 2 and 3.
The drain hose may be lengthened by a
maximum of 3 m (the total length of the drain
hose may not exceed 4.5 m). Any connections
and connecting pipes must have an internal
diameter of at least 16 mm. However, the drain
hose should ideally be replaced with a new hose
without joins.
No part of the drain hose may be more than 950
mm above the bottom of the machine. The hose
must not be routed directly to the floor drain or
similar. In such cases, the hose can act as a
siphon and empty the dishwasher.
The hose must always discharge at least 350 mm
above the bottom of the machine.
