Installation
Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or competent person.
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.
This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or worksurface.
Attention! Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for building in the dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.
No further openings for the venting of the dishwasher are required, but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power supply cable pass through.
The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet to allow the adjustment of the height.
During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.
When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or squashed.
Fixing to the adjacent units
The dishwasher must be secured against tilting.
Therefore make sure that the counter it is fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen units cabinets, wall).
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door. When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water. Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas thread spout or to a purpose made
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical specifications". Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the locknut.
