Installation
EN | Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for |
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 and electricity |
| supplies |
Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician.
The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses or the electricity supply cable.
The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation (see figure).
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 provided 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 below).
The hose should not be bent or compressed.
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.
-is provided with a Water Stop* safety device, in other words it has a water inlet hose that consists of a transparent hose on the outside and a red hose on the inside: both the hoses can withstand extremely high pressure. If the internal hose breaks, the external hose becomes a bright red colour and carries the water instead, thus avoiding any leakage.
It is very important to check the external hose regularly: if it is a bright red colour, it must be replaced by an authorised technician as soon as possible (see Assistance).
* Only available in selected models.
