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 dishwasher, making it level. In any case,
the appliance should not be inclined more than 2 . If the appli-
ance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.
Cold Water Connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connec-
tor and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.1).
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 .
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.
Drain Hose Connection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of
4cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or
crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes with the
appliance (see fig.2). The free end of the hose must be at a height
between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in water.
Attention:
The special plastic hose support must be solidly fastened to
the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing
water to spill outside the drain.
Use the new hose and the old hose should not be reused.
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
adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.
