Water connection

Water inlet hose

Connect the appliance to a hot (max. 60°) or cold water supply.

If the hot water comes from alternative sources of energy that are more environmentally friendly (e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels and aeolian), use a hot water supply to decrease energy consumption.

Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an external thread of 3/4".

ZANUSSI ZDF 312 - Water inlet hose - 1

Caution! Do not use connection hoses from an old appliance.

The water pressure must be in the limits (refer to the chapter 'Technical data'). Make sure that the local water authority gives you the average mains pressure in your area.

Make sure that there are no kinks in the water inlet hose and that the water inlet hose is not squashed or entangled. Turn the inlet hose to the left or the right to suit the installation. Fit the locknut correctly to prevent water leaks.

Caution! Do not connect the appliance to new pipes or pipes that are not used for a long time. Let the

water run for some minutes, then connect the inlet hose.

Install the appliance worktop to the appliance if you want to use the dishwasher as a freestanding appliance.

The plinth on freestanding appliance is not adjustable.

Adjusting the level of the appliance

Make sure that the appliance is level to close and seal the door correctly. If the level of the appliance is correct, the door does not catch on the sides of the cabinet. If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the appliance is level.
