Water supply connections

Connection to a cold water supply is advised.
If connection is made to a hot water supply the maximum permissible
temperature is 60°C.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it
shortens the washing programmes a lot.
The dishwasher must not be connected to gravity feed hot water appliances or
instantaneous water heaters.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's
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. T T h h e e l l o o c c k k n n u u t t

(Attention! NOT all models of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided
with locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not possible).
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used
for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting
the inlet hose.
