suitably secured to a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen units
cabinets, wall).
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
machines supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" 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.
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! NOTall models of
dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In
this case, this kind of facility is not possible).
