Make sure that the water inlet hose, the drain
hose and the supply cable are not kinked or
squashed, when you insert the machine.
Attaching the appliance to the adjacent
units
Make sure that the counter below which you
attach the appliance is a safe structure (ad-
jacent kitchen units, cabinets, wall).
Water connection
Water inlet hose
Connected the appliance to a hot (max. 60°)
or cold water supply.
If the hot water comes from alternative sour-
ces of energy that are more environmentally
friendly (e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels and
aeolian), use a hot water supply to decrease
energy consumption.
Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an
external thread of 3/4".
Caution! Do not use connection hoses
from an old appliance.
The water pressure must be in the limits (refer
to 'Technical data'). Make sure that the local
water authority gives you the average mains
pressure in your area.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the water
inlet hose and that the water inlet hose is not
squashed or entangled.
Fit the locknut correctly to prevent water
leaks.
Caution! Do not connect the appliance
to new pipes or pipes that are not used
for a long time. Let the water run for
some minutes, then connect the inlet
hose.
The water inlet hose is double-walled and
has an inner mains cable and a safety valve.
The water inlet hose is under pressure only
while the water is running. If there is a leak in
the water inlet hose, the safety valve inter-
rupts the running water.
Be careful when you connect the water inlet
hose:
• Do not put the water inlet hose or the safe-
ty valve in water.
• If the water inlet hose or the safety valve is
damaged, immediately disconnect the
mains plug from the mains socket.
Adjusting the level of the appliance
Make sure that the appliance is level to close
and seal the door correctly. If the level of the
appliance is correct, the door does not catch
on the sides of the cabinet. If the door does
not close correctly, loosen or tighten the ad-
justable feet until the appliance is level.
• Only let the Service Force Centre replace
the water inlet hose with safety valve.
Warning! Dangerous voltage
Water drain hose
1. Connect the water drain hose to the sink
spigot and attach it under the work sur-
face. This prevents that the waste water
from the sink goes back into the appli-
ance.
2. Connect the water drain hose to a stand
pipe with vent-hole (minimum internal di-
ameter 4 cm).
max 85 cm
min 40 cm
Make sure that the drain hose is not bent or
squashed to prevent that the water drains
does not drain correctly.
Remove the sink plug when the appliance
drains the water to prevent that the water
goes back into the appliance.
A drain hose extension must not be longer
than 2 m. The internal diameter must not be
smaller than the diameter of the hose.
