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. Position the dishwasher on a level 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.

2. Before recessing the dishwasher, stick the adhesive 
transparent strip

*

 under the wooden shelf in order to protect 

it from any condensation which may form.

3. Place 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)

.

. 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)

The dishwasher meets the requirements set out by the regulations 
in force concerning safety and electrical equipment.

Any technical checks should be conducted exclusively by a 

trained and authorised technician: Repairs carried out by 
unaithorised persons will invalidate the guarantee, as well as 
posing a potential hazard to the user.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to 

persons or property resulting from failure to observe the above 
precautions, from tampering with even a single component or 
from the use of non-original spare parts.

Connecting the water supply

Adaptation of the water supply for installation should only 

be performed by a qualified technician.

The water inlet and outlet hoses may be positioned towards 
the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible 
installation. 

Make sure the dishwasher does not bend or squash the hoses.

Connecting the water inlet hose

•  To a 3/4” gas cold or hot water connection point (max. 

60°C).

•  Run the water until it is perfectly clear. 
•  Screw the inlet hose tightly into position and turn off the 

tap.

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist 

store or an authorised technician 

(see  Repairs  and  After 

Sales)

.

The water pressure must be within the values indicated 

in the Technical Data table - otherwise the dishwasher may 
be function properly.

Make sure the hose is not bent, compressed or kinked.

DO NOT overtighten the hose connector, hand tight is 

sufficient.

Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are available to 

suit your tap.

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose (without bending) to a drain duct with 
a minimum diameter of 2 cm. (A)

The drain hose connection must be at a height ranging from 

40 to 80 cm (from 15’’ to 31’’) from the floor or surface where 

the dishwasher rests.

•  before  connecting  the  drain  hose,  remove  any  internal 

restrictions; this will prevent a build up of debris which 
could cause a blockage.

•  remove any restrictions from the waste spigot and ensure 

that the sealing bung is removed (B).

It MUST NOT be connected to 

a surface water drain.

Ensure the drain hose is securely 

attached, to prevent it coming away 
while the machine is in use and 
causing a flood. 

Fit hose to waste securely using a “Jubilee” type

 

clip.

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.
