Connecting the Dishwasher
Water Connection
The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash
water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the
applicable plumbing regulations.
• The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up
to max. 60 °C.
• The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances
or instantaneous water heaters.
Permitted water pressure
Connect the inlet hose
1 The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it
is being connected up.
0 Connect the threaded hose fitting (DIN 259) on the water inlet hose to
a tap with an external thread (¾ inch). Tighten the threaded hose fit-
ting hand tight only.
3 • In order that access to the tap in the kitchen is not limited by the use
of the dishwasher, we recommend the installation of an additional
tap, or fitting a two way adapter to the existing tap.
• If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, VDE
approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available from
your local Service Force Centre.
