Installation

Fitting under a counter

Warning! Make sure that mains plug is

disconnected from the mains socket
during installation.

Put the appliance adjacent to a water tap and
a water drain.
The plinth of a freestanding appliance is not
adjustable.
Do not remove the appliance's worktop if you
want to use it as a freestanding unit.
It is not necessary to remove the worktop
when installing under a standard kitchen
bench top.
Only remove the appliance worktop to install
it under a close fitting sink unit or kitchen
worktop (820mm).
Make sure that the dimensions of the recess
agree with the given dimensions.

Follow steps listed below to remove the
appliance worktop

1. Remove the rear screws (1).

electrolux 21

2. Pull the worktop behind the appliance (2).

3. Lift the worktop and move it from the front
slots (3).

4. Level of the appliance using the adjusta­ble feet.

5. Install the appliance under the kitchen
worktop. Ensure that water hoses are not
kinked or squashed.

The appliance must be easily accessible to
the technician if a repair is necessary.

Adjusting the level of the appliance

Make sure that the appliance is level to close
and seal the door correctly. If the level of the
appliance is correct, the door does not catch
on the sides of the cabinet. If the door does
not close correctly, loosen or tighten the ad­justable feet until the appliance is level.

Water connection

Water inlet hose

Connect the appliance to a cold water sup­ply.
Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an
external BSP thread spout of 3/4”.

Inlet water supply

• Cold water pressure: 800 kPa max - 50
kPa min.

• Water flow rate 10 L / minute min.

• If cold water pressure is in excess of 800
kPa, a pressure reducing valve should be
used. Check for leaks.

Caution! Always use new hoses when
you connect the appliance to the water
mains. Old hoses must not be used. The
water inlet hose must be examined at an
interval of twelve months for
deterioration and replaced if necessary.

The water pressure must be in the limits (refer
to 'Technical data'). Make sure that the local
water authority gives you the average mains
pressure in your area.

22 electrolux

Make sure that there are no kinks in the water
inlet hose and that the water inlet hose is not
squashed or entangled.
Fit the hose nut correctly to prevent water
leaks.

Caution! Do not connect the appliance
to new pipes or pipes that have been not
used for a long time. Let the water run
for some minutes, then connect the inlet
hose.

The water inlet hose is double-walled and
has an inner mains cable and a safety valve.
The water inlet hose is under pressure only
while the water is running. If there is a leak in
the water inlet hose, , the safety valve inter­rupts the running water.
Be careful when you install the water inlet
hose.

Warning!

• The mains cable is in the double-wal­led inlet hose. Do not immerse the wa­ter inlet hose or the safety valve in wa­ter.

• Do not attempt to shorten the inlet
hose.

• If the water inlet hose or the safety
valve is damaged, immediately turn off
the power and remove the mains plug
from the mains socket.

• Only a qualified Service Engineer can
replace the water inlet hose with safe­ty valve.

Warning!

have a continuous fall to the plumbing con­nection.
The drain hose can be lengthened using ad­ditional lengths and connectors. These must
be purchased from Electrolux Spare Parts.
The extension length must not exceed 2 me­tres.
The drain hose must be free of kinks and ob­structions.
Remove the sink plug when the appliance
drains the water to prevent that the water
goes back into the appliance.
If you connect the water drain hose to a trap
spigot under the sink, remove the plastic
membrane. If you do not remove the mem­brane, remaining food can cause a blockage
in the drain hose spigot.

The appliance has a security feature to
prevent dirty water going back into the
appliance. If, the spigot of the sink has a
'non-return valve', this valve can cause
the appliance to drain incorrectly. Re­move the non-return valve.

Caution! Make sure that the water
couplings are tight to prevent water
leakage.
Ensure that hoses are not crushed or
kinked under or behind the appliance.

Dangerous voltage

In order to pass the safety valve through
the kitchen cabinets, an opening of at
least 45mm x 90mm is needed.

Water drain hose

The highest point of the drain hose must be
no more than 60 cm from the floor and must

Once connected the inlet hose to the
water tap, turn the tap on and check that
there are no leaks.

Electrical connection

Warning! Safety standards require the
appliance to be earthed.
Prior to using the appliance for the first
time, ensure that the rated voltage and
type of supply on the rating plate match
that of the supply where the appliance is
to be installed.
Th e fuse rat i ng is als o to be fou n d on the
rating plate.
Always plug the mains plug onto a cor­rectly installed approved socket.
Do not use multi-ways plugs, connec­tors and extension cables. This can con­stitute a fire hazard through overheating.
If necessary, have the domestic wiring
system socket replaced. If the mains ca-
