INSTALLATION

Remove all packaging before positioning the
machine.

Positioning

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

The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which
can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the
installation .

Levelling

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and
sealing of the door.

When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will
not catch on the spacers on either side of the cabinet.

IN11

IN12

If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten
the adjustable support feet, until the machine is
perfectly level.

Water Supply Connections

This dishwasher must be permanently plumbed into a
cold water supply.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in
the technical specifications, as it will not function cor­rectly if pressure is outside these specifications.

To make this easier, the
hose itself may be turned to
the left or the right. In either
case, be sure to incorporate
the strainer (A) supplied
with the machine into the
joint. See picture.

CA06

Caution: the retaining ring must be correctly fitted to
avoid water leaks.

Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent
or slow down the flow of water.

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes
which have not been used for a long time, you are
advised to run the water for a few minutes before
connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of
sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.

Water Outlet Connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected as
follows:

to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with
a clip;

to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum
internal diameter 4 cm;

The waste connection must be at a height of between
30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the
floor.

min 4 cm

Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average
mains pressure in your area.

Where the water is supplied via a cold water storage
cistern, you can work out the pressure yourself by mea­suring the vertical distance (or «head») between the
machine's inlet hose and the outlet from the cold water
storage cistern, allowing roughly 1 psi for every 2 feet.

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 pur-

A

pose made quick-coupling
tap such as the Press

CA04

Block.

CS05

+ 2 m max

It makes no difference which way the drain hose
faces, either to the right or left of the dishwasher.

Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could
prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer
than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no
smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used
for connection to the waste outlet must be no smaller
than the diameter of the drain hose.

Note: The sink plug must not be in place when the
machine is draining as this could cause the water to
siphon back into the machine.
