If a repair is necessary, the appliance must
be easily accessible for the engineer. Install
the appliance worktop to the appliance if you
want to use the dishwasher as a freestanding
appliance.
The plinth on freestanding appliance is not
adjustable.
Adjusting the level of the appliance
Make sure that the appliance is level to close
and seal the door correctly. If the level of the
appliance is correct, the door does not catch
on the sides of the cabinet. If the door does
not close correctly, loosen or tighten the ad-
justable feet until the appliance is level.
Water connection
Water inlet hose
Connected the appliance to a hot (max. 60°)
or cold water supply.
If the hot water comes from alternative sour-
ces of energy that are more environmentally
friendly (e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels and
aeolian), use a hot water supply to decrease
energy consumption.
Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an
external thread of 3/4”.
Caution!
Do not use connection hoses
from an old appliance.
The water pressure must be in the limits (refer
to the chapter 'Technical data'). Make sure
that the local water authority gives you the
average mains pressure in your area.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the water
inlet hose and that the water inlet hose is not
squashed or entangled.
Turn the inlet hose to the left or the right to
suit the installation. Fit the locknut correctly
to prevent water leaks.
Caution!
Do not connect the appliance
to new pipes or pipes that are not used
for a long time. Let the water run for
some minutes, then connect the inlet
hose.
Water drain hose
1. Connect the water drain hose to the sink
spigot and attach it under the work sur-
face. This prevents that the waste water
from the sink goes back into the appli-
ance.
2. Connect the water drain hose to a stand
pipe with vent-hole (minimum internal di-
ameter 4 cm).
max 85 cm
min 40 cm
max 400 cm
Make sure that the drain hose is not bent or
squashed to prevent that the water drains
does not drain correctly.
Remove the sink plug when the appliance
drains the water to prevent that the water
goes back into the appliance.
A drain hose extension must not be longer
than 2 m. The internal diameter must not be
smaller than the diameter of the hose.
If you connect the water drain hose to a trap
spigot under the sink, remove the plastic
membrane (A). If you do not remove the
membrane, remaining food can cause a
blockage in the drain hose spigot
The appliance has a security feature to
prevent that dirty water goes back into
the appliance. If, the spigot of the sink
has a 'non-return valve', this valve can
cause the appliance to drain incorrectly.
Remove the non-return valve.
