IN06 IN07 820 31 Connecting the water supply q q Your dishwasher should be connected to a cold water supply. Never connect your dishwasher to open hot water appliances and continuous flow heaters! Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used in another appliance. We advise you use a cold water supply because a hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes. Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow down the water supply. [. . . ]
