Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future
reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, please
ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new
owner may benefit from the advice contained within it.
Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains
important information regarding the safe installation, use and
maintenance of the appliance.
If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an
upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its
back.
This appliance is designed for domestic use or similar
applications, for example:
- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other work
environments;
- farmhouses;
- use by guests in hotels, motels and other residential settings;
- bed and breakfasts.
Positioning and levelling
1. Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it
has not been damaged during transportation.
If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed
any further with the installation process.
2. Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or back
panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or even with
the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single
worktop
*
(see the Assembly instruction sheet).
3. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the
floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted
until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled
correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or
cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.

. To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal
bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher
using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the
spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and in an
anticlockwise direction to decrease it.

sheet attached to the documentation)
Connecting the water and electricity
supplies
Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only
be performed by a qualified technician.
The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses
or the electricity supply cable.
The appliance must be connected to the water supply
network using new piping.
Do not use old piping.
The water inlet and outlet hoses and the electricity supply cable
may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve
the best possible installation.
Connecting the water inlet hose
• To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the
hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities
that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after
performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap
with a ¾ gas threaded connection.
• To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may
be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a
central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not
exceed a temperature of 60°C.
Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold
water supply.
If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store
or an authorised technician (see Assistance).
The water pressure must be within the values indicated in
the Technical data table (see adjacent information).
The hose should not be bent or compressed.
Connecting the water outlet hose
Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with
a minimum diameter of 4 cm.
The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm
from the floor / surface where the dishwasher rests (A).
Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove
the plastic plug (B).
Anti-flooding protection
To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:
- is fitted with a special system which blocks the water supply
in the event of malfunctions or leaks from inside the appliance.
Some models are also equipped with the supplementary New
Acqua Stop
*
safety device, which guarantees anti-flooding
protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut as
it contains live electrical parts.
*
Only available in selected models.
