Installation
Choose where you want to
install your dishwasher, you
can place it so that its sides
or back panel are side by
side with furniture or up
against the wall. The
dishwasher is provided with
water supply and drain
hoses, which can be
directed towards the left or
right to facilitate appropriate
installation.
Levelling.
Once the appliance is
positioned, adjust the feet
by screwing them in or out
depending on how high you
want it and to level it so that
it is horizontal. Make sure
that it is not inclined more
than 2 degrees. If the
appliance is level, it will
help ensure its correct
operation.
Cold water connection.
Connect the cold water
supply hose to a 3/4 gas
threaded connection, taking
care to screw it tightly onto
the tap. If the water hoses
are new or have been out of
use for an extended period
of time, let the water run to
make sure it is clear and free
of impurities before making
the connection. If this
precaution is not taken, the
water inlet could get
blocked, causing damage to
your dishwasher.
It is strongly recommended
to use a new hose to
connect the dishwasher to
the water supply line, and
the old hose-set should not
be reused. Asking to
specilized shop or an
authorized service
technician (see Service).
Standpipe:
Ensure that the hose is not
pushed too far down the
standpipe.
If the end of your drain hose
is fitted with ‘retaining flaps’,
ensure they are inserted fully
into the standpipe. This will
prevent the pipe from
jumping out during
installation and use.

The standpipe should have
a bore of at least 38mm (11/
2”). It should be installed as
shown, have a trap fitted and
must discharge into the
same drain system as your
household sink.
It MUST NOT be connected
to a surface water drain.
Sink Waste System:
For under sink drainage:
Before connecting the drain
hose, remove any internal
restrictions - This will
prevent a build up of debris
which could cause a
blockage.
Remove any restrictions
from the waste spigot and
ensure that the sealing bung
is removed. The hose
should be routed, such that
it is raised to a minimum
height of 800mm (31/2”).
NOTE: Ensure the sink
outlet pipe has a minimum
diamtere of 32mm.
