INSTALLATION
Remove all packaging before positioning the Installing and Securing the Machine Under
machine. a Kitchen Unit (Sink-Worktop Unit)
Positioning
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap
and a drain.
The sides and the back of the dishwasher can rest
against the adjacent furniture or the wall.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which
can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the
installation.
Leveiiing
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and
seal of the door.
Loosen or tighten the adjustable support feet, until
the machine is perfectly level.
Adjusting the Worktop
By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it
under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, if
the dimensions of the recess correspond to those
shown in the picture.
Then proceed as follows:
— Remove the machine worktop by unscrewing the
two front retaining screws, pull from the front and
slide out of the rear slots, lifting the worktop.
— Insert the machine after adjusting the height and
levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting
the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain
hoses are not bent or squashed.
Caution
Once the machine has been installed, ensure that it
can be accessed easily for servicing.
You can move the worktop forward or backward by
25 mm in order to align the machine with the other
kitchen units.
Simply unscrew the two front retaining screws, move
the top to the required position and then retighten the
screws.

Fitting a Decor Panel on the Door
The door of this machine has frames for fitting plastic
laminate decor panel in the colour required to match
the dishwasher with the rest of the kitchen furniture. If
you want to do this you must provide this panel your¬
self.
Width; 588 mm
Height 586 mm
Max thickness: 4 mm
To Fit the Panel
• Take the door frame off after removing the retaining
screws around the edge.
• Position the panel, refit the frame and tighten the
retaining screws around the edge.
Note
The panel should be fitted before positioning the
machine.
Water Supply Connections
This dishwasher must be plumbed into a cold water
supply and it is preferable for it to be permanently
plumbed in.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in
the technical specifications, as it will not function
correctly if pressure is outside these specifications.
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the
average mains pressure in your area. Where the
water is supplied via a cold water storage cistern, you
can work out the pressure yourself by measuring the
vertical distance (or «head») between the machine’s
inlet hose and the outlet from the cold water storage
cistern, allowing roughly 1 psi for every 2 feet.
As to the making of the connection itself, the coupling
nut fitted to the machine’s supply hose is designed to
screw onto either a 3/4 inch gas thread spout, or to a
purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-
Block.
To make this easier, the hose itself may be turned to
the left or the right. In either case, be sure to incor¬
porate the strainer A supplied with the machine onto
the joint. See picture.
Caution: the retaining ring must be correctly fitted to
avoid water leaks.
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent
or slow down the flow of water.
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes
which have not been used for a long time, you are
advised to run the water for a few minutes before
connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits
of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.

Water Outlet Connection Note: The sink plug must not be in place when the
machine is draining as this could cause the water to
The end of the drain hose can be connected as siphon back into the machine,
follows:
to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with
a clip;
to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum
internal diameter 4 cm;
hooked over the edge of the sink using the special
curved plastic guide provided.
The waste connection must be at a height of between
30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the
floor.
It makes no difference which way the drain hose
faces either to the right or left of the dishwasher.
Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could
prevent or slow down the discharge of water.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer
than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no
smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used
for connection to the waste outlet must be no smaller
than the diameter of the drain hose.
