followed (safety regulations, proper recycling in accordance with the regulations, etc.)
When installing your machine

• Do not install the machine where the room temperature is likely to drop below 0°C.
• Before positioning, remove the machine from its packaging taking care to follow warning
instructions attached.
• Position the machine close to a water tap or drain.
• When moving the machine ensure you do not grip the door or panel.

Installation
Water Connection
Ensure the machine is connected to a clean, cold running water supply.
Water inlet hose
Water Outlet Hose
Only use the water inlet hose supplied with this machine. Do not reuse old inlet hoses. Connect the water inlet hose directly to the water
inlet tap. The pressure supplied by the tap should be a minimum of
0.03Mpa and a maximum of 1Mpa. If the water pressure is above
1Mpa, a pressure release valve should be fitted. After the connection
is made, the tap should be turned on fully so the fitting is secure and
there are no leakages. For the safety and maintenance of your
machine, make sure you always turn off the water after using the
machine.
Note:
Aquastop water spouts are used in some models. If it is there should
be no excess tension in it, it is not cut and that it is not twisted.
The water drain hose can be connected either directly to the water
drain hole or to the sink outlet spigot. Using a special bent pipe, the
water can be drained directly into the sink via hooking the pipe over
the edge of the sink. This connection should be a minimum of 50cm
and at a maximum of 110 cm from the floor.
Note
If a drain hose longer than 4m is used dishes may remain dirty and
manufacturer’s guarantee will be void.
