Installation

Positioning the Appliance

Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.

Levelling the Appliance

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the height of the dishwasher, making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2°.

Drain Hose Connection

Fit the drain pipe into a drain line with a minimum diameter of 4 cm or place it over the sink. Avoid restricting or bending it.. The part of the pipe marked with the letter A should be between 40 and 100 cm above the ground.(see figure)

The pipe should not be immersed in water.

If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper perfor- mance.

Cold Water Connection

This electric household appliance should be connected to the water mains using the cold water supply hose provided with the appliance only. Do not use a different hose. In the event of replacements, use original spare parts only.

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connector and making sure that it is fastened tightly in place. If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance.

Hot Water Connection

The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60° C.

In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.

The connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water line.

Electrical Connection

After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home correspond to those on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and that the electrical system is sized for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law). If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug, rather than using adpators or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.

Should the electricity supply cable be damaged, we recommend that you only contact authorised Technical Service Centres for the replacement.

Caution: the dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be done safely.

Condensation-proof tape.

On some models, a transparent condensation-proof adhesive tape has been provided.

It should be stuck onto the lower side of your wooden worktop to protect it from the formation of condensation. When not provided, this tape can be requested as a spare part from authorised retailers.
