Positioning the Dishwasher

The dishwasher should be aligned to the front of the adjacent

cabinets, with allowance made for the door thickness. The

dishwasher has water supply and drain hoses that can be

positioned on either to the left or the right.
Before installing the dishwasher into a kitchen cabinet,

holes must not be drilled into the sides or door, as to avoid

compromising the performance and operation of the

appliance.
A plastic self-adhesive anti-condensation strip is supplied

with the dishwasher. Fix the strip to the underside of the

worktop, along the front edge (Fig.5-1).
Connect up the cold water supply, the drain hose and the

electrical connections (see below) then slide the dishwasher

into the cabinet opening. Make sure the unit sits on the

plastic skids supplied.

Cold Water Connection

Connect the water supply hose (supplied loose) to the cold

water inlet at the rear. Connect the other end to a ¾“ BSP tap

connector (Fig.5-2). Make sure that the washers are in place

and that it is fastened securely in place.
IMPORTANT: If the water pipes are new or have not been

used for an extended period of time, run the water for

a while to make sure that the water is clear and free of

impurities BEFORE connecting to the dishwasher. Failure

to carry out this precaution may lead to the water inlet

becoming blocked and causing damage the appliance.

Drain Hose Connection

Connect the drain hose the water outlet. Insert the hose into

a drainpipe with a minimum diameter of 40 mm, or let it

run into a sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping. If

necessary, fit a siphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece.

The free end of the hose must be at a height of between

40-100 cm and must not be immersed in water (Fig.5-3).

WARNING! The connecting piece for the siphon trap

(U-bend) must be solidly fastened to the wall to

prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing

water to spill outside the drain (Fig.5-4).
