Installation

 

 

! Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for

EN

 

future reference. If the appliance is sold, given away

 

 

or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the

 

 

 

machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the

 

 

advice contained within it.

 

 

 

! Please read this instruction manual carefully: it

 

 

contains important information regarding the safe

 

 

installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.

 

 

! 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. Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides

 

 

or back panel are in contact with the adjacent

 

 

cabinets or even with the wall. This appliance can also

 

 

be recessed under a single worktop (see the

 

 

Assembly instruction sheet).

 

 

3. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If

 

 

the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may

 

 

be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the

 

 

angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). 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.

 

 

 

Connecting the water outlet hose

 

 

 

 

 

 

Connect the outlet hose

 

 

 

 

A

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(without bending it) to a

 

 

 

 

 

 

drain duct with a minimum

 

 

 

 

 

 

diameter of 4 cm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alternatively, rest it over a

 

 

 

 

 

 

sink or tub; the free end of

 

 

 

 

 

 

the hose should not

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

remain immersed in water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The special plastic elbow*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

makes it easier to find the best layout: fix the elbow to the wall securely in order to prevent the outlet hose from moving and spilling the dirty water.

The part of the hose marked with the letter A should be between 40 and 100 cm above the ground (see figure).

! We advise against the use of hose extensions.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle

After the appliance has been installed, immediately before running the first wash cycle, completely fill the salt dispenser with water and add approximately 2 kg of salt (see Rinse aid and refined salt). The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. It is also normal that the LOW SALT* indicator light continues to flash for a few cycles after the salt has been loaded.
