Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water.
Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as
it shortens the washing programmes a lot.
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 quick-coupling tap such as
the Press-block.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical
specifications". 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.
(Attention! 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, for connection, old hoses which have been used in
another appliance.
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.
