Th e water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house hold hot water 
line (such as, central system, heating system),as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60 C. In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortene d by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced. 
Th e co nnection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as described in the section for the connection to the cold water line.

Positioning the Appliance 
How to Drain Excess Water From Hoses
If the sink is 1000 higher from the floor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained directly 
into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.

Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. 
En sure that the water inlet hose is not kinked or s quashed.
Syphon Connection
The waste connection must be at a h eight of between 50 c m (minimum) and 10 0 cm (maximum)
from the bottom of the dish. The water drain hose should be fixed by a hose clip.
Extension Hose
If you n eed a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar dra in hose. 
It must be no longer than 4 metres; o therwise the cleanin g effect o f the dishwasher could be re duced. 
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or walls. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can 
be positioned either to the right or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.
