the couplings.
Do not use an extension hose if the inlet
hose is too short. Contact the service
centre for the replacement of the inlet
hose.
5.4 Water-stop device
The inlet hose has a water stop device. This

fault.
A
If this occurs, close the water tap and contact
the authorized service centre to replace the
hose.
5.5 Water drainage
The drain hose should be positioned at a
height of not less than 60 cm and not more
than 100 cm from the floor.

maximum 400 cm. Contact the
authorized service centre for the other
drain hose and the extension.
It is possible to connect the drain hose in
different ways:
1. Make a U shape with the drain hose and
put it around the plastic hose guide.
2. On the edge of a sink - Fasten the guide
to the water tap or to the wall.
Make sure that the plastic guide cannot
move when the appliance drains.
Make sure that the drain hose end is not
immersed in the water. There may be a
return of dirty water into the appliance.
3. To a stand pipe with vent-hole - Insert
the drain hose directly into a drain pipe.
Refer to the illustration.
10 ENGLISH

The end of the drain hose must always
be ventilated , i.e. the inner diameter of
the drain pipe (min. 38 mm - min. 1.5")
must be larger than the external diameter
of the drain hose.
4. If the end of the drain hose looks like this
(see the picture), you can push it directly
into the stand pipe.
5. Without the plastic hose guide, to a
sink spigot - Put the drain hose in the
spigot and tighten it with a clamp. Refer
to the illustration.
Make sure that the drain hose makes a
loop to prevent particles going into the
appliance from the sink.
6. Position the hose directly to a built-in
drain pipe in the room wall and tighten
it with a clamp.
5.6 Electrical connection
At the end of installation you can connect the
mains plug to the mains socket.
The rating plate on the inner edge of the
appliance door and the 'Technical Data'
chapter indicate the necessary electrical
ratings. Make sure that they are compatible
with the mains power supply.
Check that your domestic electrical
installation can take the maximum load
required, also taking into account any other
appliances in use.
Connect the appliance to an earthed
socket.
The power supply cable must be easily
accessible after installing the appliance.
For any electrical work required to install this
appliance, contact our Authorised Service
