Unpacking

• Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.

• If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a

drain.

Water connections

We recommend that this dishwasher is connected to your
cold water supply.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to
the machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto either
a 3/4" inch gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick­coupling tap such as the Press-block.
The inlet hose is fitted with either a plastic or a metal nut:

– Only tighten the plastic nut hand tight.
– You must tighten the metal nut using a tool.

Then do a visual check for water tightness (make sure that
the tap is not dripping).

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the
"Technical Data" shown on page 6. 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 up.

The dishwasher features fill 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. (Important! NOT all mod­els of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with
locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not possible).

If the machine 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 for 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.

3 So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not re-

stricted by the use of the dishwasher, we recom­mend installing an additional tap, or fitting a T-branch
to the existing tap.

Water outlet hose connection

Extension hoses

• Extension hoses are available from your local Service
Force Centre. To ensure that the function of the appliance
is not impeded, the internal diameter of extension hoses
must be 19 mm.

• Extension hoses must not be laid more than a maximum
distance of 4 metres horizontally; the maximum permit­ted height for the connection for the drain hose is then
85 cm.

Sink outlet connection

• The outlet of the drain hose (ø 19 mm) fits all commonly
available sink outlet types. The outer diameter of the sink
outlet connection must be at least 15 mm.

• The drain hose must be fixed to the sink outlet connec­tion using the hose clamp supplied.

Water drainage if the dishwasher is built-in at high
level

If the dishwasher is installed at a high level, and the drain
hose connection is less than 30 cm from the lower edge of
the appliance, adapter kit ET 111099520 must be fitted by
your local Service Force Centre.

Anti-flood System

Water Drainage

Drain hose

1 The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or en-

tangled.

Connecting the drain hose:

– Maximum permitted height: 1 metre.
– Minimum required height: 40 cm above the bottom

edge of the appliance.

For protection from water damage, the dishwasher is
equipped with a anti-flood system.
In the event of a fault, the safety valve in the water inlet
hose immediately interrupts the supply of water to the ap­pliance and the drain pump is activated. In this way water
can neither escape nor overflow. The remaining water in
the appliance is automatically pumped out.

7

Connecting Systems

The water inlet hose, drain hose and the mains cable must
all be connected to the side of the dishwasher as there is no
space for them behind the appliance.

Fitting under a counter

(kitchen worktop or sink)
By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it under

a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the
dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the
picture.

Proceed as follows:

1. Unscrew the screws from the elbows at the rear (1).

2. Push the appliance’s worktop backwards about 1 cm (2).

3. Lift the worktop at the front (3) and remove it.

Insert the machine after adjusting

Levelling the Dishwasher

• The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and ad­justed to ensure that it is stable and level in all directions.

• To overcome irregularities in the floor and to match the
height of the appliance to that of surrounding units, ex­tend the threaded feet using a screwdriver.

height and levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting
the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are
not kinked or squashed. During all operations that involve
accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to
be unplugged.

1 Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it

is easily accessible for the service engineer in the
event that a repair is required.

1 If the dishwasher is installed directly next to a cook-

er, a heat-insulating, non-flammable panel (laminated
with aluminium foil on the side next to the cooker)
must be fitted flush with the top edge of the work
surface.

1 If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing ap-

pliance, the work surface supplied with it must be re­mounted.

3 The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjusta-

ble.

• The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must be laid so
that they are able to move freely within the plinth area,
and so that they are not kinked or crushed when the dish­washer is in position.

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of
the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not
catch on either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the
adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
