Water Regulations compliance in the UK
For the dishwasher to comply with the Wa-
ter Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations and
Bylaws, the supplied double check valves
must be fitted to the hot and cold water
connections between the stopcock and the
dishwasher water inlet hoses.
 Screw the non-return valve onto the stop-
cock.
 Screw the water inlet hose onto the thread
of the non-return valve.
Connecting the drain hose
- The dishwasher drainage system is fitted
with a non-return valve, which prevents
dirty water from flowing back into the
dishwasher via the drain hose.
- The dishwasher drain hose should be
connected to a separate on-site drainage
system for the dishwasher only. If no sep-
arate connection is available, we recom-
mend connecting it to a dual-chamber si-
phon. The on-site connection must be
between 0.3m and 1m in height, meas-
ured from the lower edge of the machine.
If the connection is lower than 0.3m, the
drain hose must be placed in an arc at
least 0.3m high.
- The dishwasher is supplied with approx.
1.5m of flexible drain hose with an in-
ternal diameter of 22mm. Hose clips are
supplied with the dishwasher.
- The drain hose must not be shortened.
The hose can be extended using a con-
nection piece to attach a further length of
hose. The drainage length must not be
longer than 4m.
- The drainage system must be able to ac-
commodate a minimum drainage flow of
16l/min.
 Damage caused by incorrect routing.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the
drain hose and that it is not squashed or
stretched.
