Insert the machine after adjusting the levelling
with the adjustable feet. When inserting the
machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain
hoses are not kinked or squashed.
During all operations that involve accessibility
to internal components the dishwasher has to
be unplugged.
Be sure that once the appliance has been
installed, it is easily accessible for the service
engineer in the event that a repair is required.

If the dishwasher is later used as a free-
standing appliance, the original worktop must
be re-mounted.
The plinth on free-standing appliances is not
adjustable.

Levelling

Good levelling is essential for correct closure
and sealing of the door. When the appliance
is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on
either side of the cabinet. If the door does not
close correctly, loosen or tighten the
adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly
level.

This dishwasher may be fed with either hot
(max. 60°) or cold water. Nevertheless we
advise you use a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with
heavily soiled crockery as it shortens the
washing programmes a lot.
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 data". 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. The locknut must be correctly
fitted to avoid water leaks.
(Attention!
NOT all models of dishwashers have fill and
drain hoses provided with a locknut.)
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.
DO NOT use connection hoses which
have previously been used on an old
appliance.
