Installation
Positioning the appliance
Place your dishwasher where you want to install it. The
appliance can even be placed so that its sides or back panel
are side by side with furniture or up against the wall. The
dishwasher is provided with water supply and drain hoses,
which can be directed towards the left or right to facilitate
appropriate installation.
Levelling
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet by screwing
them in or out depending on how high you want it and level
it so that it is horizontal; however it must not be tilted by
more than 2° under any circumstances.
If the appliance is level, this will help ensure its correct
operation.
This dishwasher model can be built under a single worktop (please
read the relevant instruction sheet).
Cold water connection.
This electric household appliance should be connected to
the water mains using the cold water supply hose provided
with the appliance only. Do not use a different hose. In the
event of replacements, use original spare parts only.
Connect the cold water supply hose to a 3/4 gas threaded
connection, taking care to screw it tightly onto the tap.
If the water hoses are new or have been out of use for an
extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is
clear and free of impurities before making the connection. If
this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could get blocked,
causing damage to your dishwasher.
Hot water connection
Your dishwasher can be supplied with hot water from the
mains supply (if you have a central heating system with
radiators) at a temperature of no more than 60°C.
In this case, the wash cycle time will be about 15 minutes
shorter and the wash will be slightly less effective.
The connection must be made to the hot water supply
following the same procedures as those indicated for the
cold water connection.
Anti-flooding protection
Your dishwasher is provided with a special system which
blocks the water supply in the event of leaks inside the
appliance. It is further equipped with a water inlet hose that
can withstand extremely high pressures and that turns red in
the event of breakage. Safety in the event of flooding is
ensured by the second clear hose that contains the former. It
is vital that you check it on a regular basis: if you see it has
turned red, then you know you have to replace it as soon as
possible. Call for an authorised technical engineer to come
and replace it.
Drain hose connection
Fit the drain pipe into a drain line with a minimum diameter
of 4 cm or place it over the
sink. Avoid restricting or
bending it. Use the special
plastic elbow provided (see fi-
gure) to position it in the best
possible way. The part of the
pipe marked with the letter A
should be between 40 and 100
cm above the ground.
The pipe should not be
immersed in water.
Warning: the special plastic elbow should be fastened firmly
onto the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and
allowing water to spill outside the drain.
Electrical connection
Plug the appliance into a socket provided with an efficient
earth connection (the system’s earthing is a guarantee of
safety provided for by law), after having checked that the
mains voltage and frequency values correspond to those stated
on the rating plate located on the stainless steel inner door
of the appliance and that the electrical system to which the
dishwasher is connected is sized for the maximum current
indicated on said rating plate. If the power socket to which
the appliance is connected is not compatible with the plug,
replace it with a suitable plug rather than using adapters or
multiple plugs as these could cause overheating or burns.
If the electricity supply wire is damaged, we recommend you
contact authorised Technical Assistance service centres
exclusively for a replacement.
