Installation
Positioning the appliance
Place your dishwasher where you want to install it. The appliance can even be placed so that its sides or back panel are side by side with furniture or up against the wall. The dishwasher is provided with water supply and drain hoses, which can be directed towards the left or right to facilitate appropriate installation.
Levelling
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet by screwing them in or out depending on how high you want it and level it so that it is horizontal; however it must not be tilted by more than 2° under any circumstances.
If the appliance is level, this will help ensure its correct operation.

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 3/4 gas threaded connection, taking care to screw it tightly onto the tap.
If the water hoses are new or have been out of use for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before making the connection. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could get blocked, causing damage to your dishwasher.
Hot water connection
Your dishwasher can be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) at a temperature of no more than 60°C.
In this case, the wash cycle time will be about 15 minutes shorter and the wash will be slightly less effective.
The connection must be made to the hot water supply following the same procedures as those indicated for the cold water connection.
Anti-flooding protection
Your dishwasher is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of leaks inside the appliance. It is further equipped with a water inlet hose that can withstand extremely high pressures and that turns red in the event of breakage. Safety in the event of flooding is ensured by the second clear hose that contains the former. It is vital that you check it on a regular basis: if you see it has turned red, then you know you have to replace it as soon as possible. Call for an authorised technical engineer to come and replace it.
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 |
|
|
| |
|
| A | ||
bending it. Use the special |
|
|
| |
plastic elbow provided (see fi- |
|
|
| |
gure) to position it in the best |
|
|
| |
possible way. The part of the |
|
|
| |
pipe marked with the letter A |
|
|
| |
should be between 40 and 100 |
|
|
|
|
|
| |||
|
|
| ||
cm above the ground. |
|
|
|
|
The pipe should not be |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| ||
immersed in water. |
|
|
| |
|
|

Warning: the special plastic elbow should be fastened firmly onto the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill outside the drain.
Electrical connection
Plug the appliance into a socket provided with an efficient earth connection (the system’s earthing is a guarantee of safety provided for by law), after having checked that the mains voltage and frequency values correspond to those stated on the rating plate located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance and that the electrical system to which the dishwasher is connected is sized for the maximum current indicated on said rating plate. If the power socket to which the appliance is connected is not compatible with the plug, replace it with a suitable plug rather than using adapters or multiple plugs as these could cause overheating or burns.
If the electricity supply wire is damaged, we recommend you contact authorised Technical Assistance service centres exclusively for a replacement.
