Installation
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.
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.	Arrange	the	dishwasher	so	that	its	sides	or	back	panel	are	in	
contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance 
can also be recessed under a single worktop
*
(see the Assembly
Instruction sheet.)
3. Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor 
is uneven, the front feet of the appliance should 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 
(see Building-in Instruction
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 the water hoses or
electricity supply cable.
The appliance must be connected to the water supply
network using new hoses.
Never	use	old	or	second	hand	hose	sets.	Do	not	reuse	hose	
sets from any previously installed dishwasher.
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 provided with a special system which blocks the water supply 
in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.
Some	models	are	also	equipped	with	the	supplementary	safety	
device New Acqua Stop
*
, 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.
Electrical connection
Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure 
that:
•	 The	socket	is	earthed	and	complies	with	current	regulations.
•	 the	socket	can	withstand	the	maximum	load	of	the	appliance,	
which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of 
the door 
(see Description of the appliance);
• The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on
the data plate on the inside of the door.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If
this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace 
the plug (
see Assistance
); do not use extension cables or
multiple sockets.
Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply
cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.
The cable should not be bent or compressed.
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order 
to	prevent	all	potential	hazards	
(see Assistance.)
