Recently bought a new house and we've just bought our first ever dishwasher as well (yay!).
A friend said her partner could help connect it, so he came round, and connected our waching machine, but not yet the dishwasher.
He said he had to go and get something (pointing at the wite piping connectors through which the water runs) and he said something about a new/different hose.
However unfortuanately our friend and him broke up, so he won't be coming back here, meaning i now need to use my 2 left hands and zero DIY skills/knowledge to connect this dishwasher
Washing machine on the right is connected up and working.
The cubboard, that'll get a full clean before everything gets plummed in.
So, question 1. When he was here he went to the front of the house, just off our driveway, opened some little round cover in the pavement, and switched off something ? Would that have been the main connecting for the water to the house ?
Do i need to do that for the dishwasher, or was that perhaps only neccessary for connecting the waching machine ?
Looking at the back of the dishwasher i can see this :
And i can also see the 2 hoses coming from the waching machine (which apperently is plugged into the cold tap only, as it heats it own water)
The cold water hose from the waching machine goes in here :
And the ?waste water from the wachine machine goes down in this thing :
Now, from the dishwasher he connected the waste pipe into this hole, and put some clip around it :
However the red hose that comes out of the dish washer is not connected :
This picture is the only picture in the instruction manual :
And these are a couple more pictures of all the pipes under the sink :
So,
1) Do i need to disconnect the water from the cover on the pavement outside the house ?
2) Where do i plug watercable with the red end into ?
3) Do i need to use those little red and blue taps under the sink whilst doing any of this ?
4) Does any of the white connecter pipes look like they need replacing for whatever reason ?
5) Anything else i need to know or any other tips/advice ?
