Hotpoint FDF-780 User Manual

Connecting the water supplies

Connection to the water and electricity supplies

should only be performed by a qualified technician.

The dishwasher should not stand on top of the

water hoses or the electricity supply cable.

Connecting the water inlet hose

The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the

electricity supply cable may be positioned towards

the right or the left in order to achieve the best

possible installation (see figure).

To a suitable cold water connection point: before

attaching the hose, run the water until it is

perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be

present in the water do not clog the appliance;

after performing this operation, screw the inlet

hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded

connection.

To a suitable hot water connection point: your

dishwasher may be provided with hot water from

the mains supply (if you have a central heating

system with radiators) provided that it does not

exceed a temperature of 60°C.

Screw the hose to the tap as described for

connection to a cold water supply.

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a

specialist store or an authorised technician (see

Assistance).

The water pressure must be within the values

indicated in the Technical data table (see

Installation).

The hose should not be bent or compressed.

The appliance must be connected to the water

supply network using new hoses.

Do not use old hoses.

Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected

and the old hose is disposed of safely.

Ensure the fill hose is only fitted to the cold

water supply. DO NOT overtighten the hose

connector, hand tight is sufficient.

Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.

Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are

available to suit your tap.

DO NOT connect the dishwasher to a single

outlet instantaneous water heater or an electric

heater.

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.

DO NOT position the standpipe near an

electrical outlet.

ENSURE that the drain hose is not kinked and it

is routed as shown in the diagram.

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.

Only available in selected models.
