Connection to the drainage system
– The dishwasher drain contains a built-in non-return valve which
prevents dirty water from flowing back into the dishwasher via the
drain hose.
– Ideally, the dishwasher should be connected to a separate on-site
drainage system. If a separate connection is not available, we rec-
ommend connecting the dishwasher to a dual-chamber trap. The
on-site connection must be positioned between 12" and 40" (0.3m
and 1m) above the bottom edge of the dishwasher. If the connec-
tion is lower than the minimum height, the drain hose must be bent
to maintain a height of 12" (0.3m).
– The dishwasher is equipped with a 59" (1.5-m) long flexible drain
hose (clear width of 7/8" (22mm)). Clamps for connecting the hose
are included with the dishwasher.
– Do not shorten the drain hose! The hose can be extended by a con-
necting piece and an additional hose. The length of the drainage
line may not exceed 13' (4m).
– The drainage system must be able to handle a discharge rate of at
least 4.2g/min (16l/min).
 Make sure that there are no kinks in the hose, and that it is not
crushed or stretched.
