2.1 Water supply connection 
 
 
 
 
 
Preventing the risk of clogging or damage: if the water pipe is new or 
has not been used for a long time, before connecting to the water supply 
check that the water is clear and free of impurities, to prevent damage to 
the appliance.  
The dishwasher must always be connected to the water system 
with new hoses; old or used hoses must never be reused.
 
 
 
 
 
 
CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY 
 
Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with ¾” 
gas thread, inserting the filter A supplied with the 
dishwasher.  Take care to screw the hose firmly into 
place with your hands and then complete by 
tightening about ¼ of a turn with pliers. 
 
In dishwashers equipped with the ACQUASTOP 
device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded 
ring.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply not 
exceeding 60°C
. Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the 
washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its 
effectiveness. Make the connection to the domestic hot water supply using 
the same procedure described for connecting to the cold water supply. 
 
DRAIN CONNECTION 
 
Insert the dishwasher’s drain hose 
into a drain pipe having a diameter 
of at least 4 cm, or alternatively, 
place it inside the kitchen sink 
using the plastic support provided, 
taking care not to crush or 
excessively bend the hose. It is 
important to prevent the hose from 
coming loose and falling. For this 
purpose, the plastic support is 
equipped with a hole for tying it to 
the wall or water tap. 
 
 
 
The free end should be positioned at a height of between 30 and 100 
cm
,  and should never be submerged in water. If a horizontal drain 
extension hose is used (for a maximum of 3 m) the drain hose can be 
placed at a maximum height of 85 cm from the ground.
