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.
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 dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or
the right to suit the installation.
The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow down the water supply.
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. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.
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.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used in another
appliance.
The water supply hose is fitted with a safety device, which prevents water from
entering the machine should the inner hose split, due to wear.
The problem is signalled by a red indicator which appears in the window (B - ➀➁).
If this happens, close the water tap and have the hose replaced.
The retaining ring (A - ➀➁) must be properly fitted so as to avoid water leaks.
Note:
Only for water supply hoses with Lock-fast safety device to prevent inadvertent
loosening.
To detach the hose press yellow
lever (C - ➁) and turn the retaining
ring anticlockwise
