Connecting to the water supply
• The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up
to max. 60°C.
• The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances
or instantaneous water heaters.
Permitted water pressure
Connecting the inlet hose
1
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it
is being connected.
Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 228-1:2000) on the water inlet
hose to a tap with an external thread (¾ inch). The inlet hose is fitted
with either a plastic or a metal nut:
– Only tighten the nut hand tight.
Then do a visual check for water tightness. (Make sure that the tap is
not dripping.)
3
So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not restricted by the use of
the dishwasher, we recommend installing an additional tap, or fitting a
T-branch to the existing tap.
If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, the following
VDE-approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available
from your local service centre.
Lowest permitted water pressure:
1 bar (=10 N/cm2 =100 kPa) Consult your plumber if the water pres-
sure is less than 1 bar.
Highest permitted water pressure:
10 bar (=100 N/cm2 =1 MPa)
If the water pressure is greater than 10
bar, a pressure reduction valve must be
used (available from your dealer).
