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. Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor is 
uneven, the front feet of the appliance may 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.

2. Before recessing the dishwasher, stick the adhesive 
transparent strip* under the wooden shelf in order to protect it 
from any condensation which may form.

3. Place 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)

.

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)

The dishwasher meets the requirements set out by the regulations 
in force concerning safety and electrical equipment.

Any technical checks should be conducted exclusively by a 

trained and authorised technician: Repairs carried out by 
unaithorised persons will invalidate the guarantee, as well as 
posing a potential hazard to the user.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to 

persons or property resulting from failure to observe the above 
precautions, from tampering with even a single component or 
from the use of non-original spare parts.

Connecting the water supply

Adaptation of the water supply for installation should only be 

performed by a qualified technician.

The water inlet and outlet hoses may be positioned towards the 
right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation. 

Make sure the dishwasher does not bend or squash the hoses.

Connecting the water inlet hose

•  To a 3/4” gas cold or hot water connection point (max. 60°C).
•  Run the water until it is perfectly clear. 
•  Screw the inlet hose tightly into position and turn off the tap.

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store 

or an authorised technician 

(see After Sales Service)

.

The water pressure must be within the values indicated in 

the Technical Data table - otherwise the dishwasher may be 
function properly.

Make sure the hose is not bent, compressed or kinked.

DO NOT overtighten the hose connector, hand tight is 

sufficient.

Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are available to suit 

your tap.

Connecting the drain hose

Connect the drain hose (without bending) to a drain duct with a 
minimum diameter of 2 cm. (A)

The drain hose connection must be at a height ranging from 40 

to 80 cm (from 15’’ to 31’’) from the floor or surface where the 

dishwasher rests.

•  before  connecting  the  drain  hose,  remove  any  internal 

restrictions; this will prevent a build up of debris which could 
cause a blockage.

•  remove any restrictions from the waste spigot and ensure that 

the sealing bung is removed (B).

It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.

Ensure the drain hose is securely 

attached, to prevent it coming away 
while the machine is in use and 
causing a flood. 

Fit hose to waste securely using 

a “Jubilee” type clip.

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 

as shown on the data plate located on the inside of the door 

 

(see chapter 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
