Adjusting the height of the appliance It is important that the appliance absolutely stands level so that the door closes and seals properly.

water connection electrolux 33 Adjustment of the plinth Space at the bottom of the appliance can be covered by lowering the plinth. Water connection Water inlet connection This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water. However a hot water supply is not always efficient with heavily soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot. Therefore we recommend connection to a cold water supply.
electrolux water connection Always use a new hose-set when connecting the appliance to the water mains. An old hose-set must not be reused. The water inlet hose should be inspected every 12 months for deterioration and replaced if necessary. This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will prevent the water used in the appliance from returning back into the drinking water system. This appliance complies with the applicable plumbing regulations.
electrical connection electrolux 35 When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic membrane must be removed. Failure to remove all the membrane will result in food particles building up over time eventually blocking the appliance drain hose spigot the return of dirty water back into the machine. If the spigot of your sink has a 'no return valve' incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher. We therefore advise you to remove it.
