Water connections
Water inlet connection
This appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.
For making the connection itself, the
coupling nut fitted to the machine’s inlet
hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas
thread spout or to a purpose made quick-
coupling tap such as the Press-block.
The water pressure must be within the
limits given in the "Technical data". 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 appliance features inlet 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 inlet and drain hoses provided with a
locknut.) If the appliance 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 on 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.
The dishwasher can also be
connected to a hot water supply not
exceeding 60°C. Supplying the
appliance with hot water cuts down
the washing time by approximately
20 minutes, but slightly reduces its
effectiveness. Make the connection
to the domestic hot water supply
using the same procedure described
for connecting to the cold water
supply.
