Legend of abbreviations used for the plumbing connections
Cold water hose – CW – Temperature >5°C <30°C
Hot water hose – DW – Temperature max. 60°C
Dishwasher drain hose – d
Steam condenser drain hose - cd (as applicable)
FILL CYCLE - WATER SUPPLY FITTINGS
The dishwasher has two water supply hoses, one for the mains water supply and one for hot water.

fig. 5 – Fit the provided filters when connecting the hose
POSITION OF FILL COCKS
The fill cocks must be located next to the appliance, in an easily accessible position. Refer to the following
figure, the recommended dimensions are:
N.B.: to prevent blockages and damage, if the water hose is new or has not been used for a long time, make
sure that the water is pure and clear before making the hookup.
CAUTION – MAINS WATER HARDNESS
To be done by the user: check the mains water hardness.
Only if the hardness of the mains water is known can the Smeg technician set the dishwasher's
parameters for the integrated water softener.
You should run regular checks (e.g. once or twice a year) of the mains water quality to ensure that
the initial values are maintained and adjust the dishwasher's settings if necessary.
DW: HOT WATER – this connection is optional but highly recommended; if hot water is available, using it
reduces the dishwasher cycle times to a minimum
CAUTION – NO HOT WATER
If no hot water supply is available, connect the hose to the cold water intake
