Installation and Assistance

Only available in selected models.

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.
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 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);
