Ariston LFF 8M5 manual Installation, Positioning and levelling

Installation

If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an EN 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.

4*. 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.

Never use old or second hand hose sets. Do not reuse hose sets from any previously installed dishwasher.

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);

•The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door.

•The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see Assistance); do not use extension cables or multiple sockets.

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.

The cable should not be bent or compressed.

If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards (see Assistance.)
