INSTALLATION AND HOOK UP
Remove the polystyrene basket retainers. Position the appliance in the desired place of installation.
The back or sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other furniture units. If the
dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the special insulating panel to prevent overheating and
malfunction of the appliance. To ensure stability, install integrated or built-under dishwashers only
under continuous countertops, and screw them to adjacent units. To facilitate the installation proce-
dure, the intake and drain hoses can be positioned in any direction; make sure that the hoses are not
kinked, crushed or pulled too tightly. Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This
operation is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
NOTE - Some models are equipped with only one adjustable foot at the rear, which can be adjusted by
turning the screw on the lower front part of the appliance.
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with 3/4” gas thread. Inserting the filter A supplied
with the dishwasher, and taking care to screw it firmly into the tap. In dishwashers equipped with the
aquastop device, the filter is already fitted inside the threaded ring. The dishwasher can also be con-
nected to a hot water supply not exceeding 140°F. Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down
the washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its effectiveness. Make the connec-
tion to the domestic hot water supply using the same procedure described for connecting to the cold
water supply.
DRAIN CONNECTION
Insert the dishwasher’s drain hose into a drain pipe having a diameter of at least 1-9/16 in., or alterna-
tively, place it inside the kitchen sink using the plastic support provided, taking care not to crush or
excessively bend the hose. It is important to prevent the hose from coming loose and falling. For this
purpose, the plastic support is equipped with a hole for tying it to the pipe or water tap. The free end
should be positioned at a height of between 11-13/16 in. and 39-3/8 in., and should never be submerged
in water. If a horizontal drain extension hose is used (for a maximum of 9.84 ft.) the drain hose can be
placed at a maximum height of 33-7/16 in. from the ground.
CAUTION: Preventing the risk of clogging or damage: If the water pipe is new or has not been used
for a long period of time, before connecting to the water supply check that the water is
clear and free of impurities to prevent damage to the appliance.
