INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Choose where you want to install your dishwasher, you can even place it 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.

Easy to build-in

This dishwasher model can be built under a single worktop (please read the relevant instruction 
sheet).

Levelling

Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet by screwing them in or out depending on 
how high you want it and to level it so that it is horizontal. Make sure that it is not inclined 
more than 2 degrees. If the appliance is level, it will help ensure its correct operation. 

Cold Water Connection

This dishwasher 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 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.

This Dishwasher MUST be Earthed

Only now can you 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, make sure your system has it).

Anti-flood Protection

Your dishwasher is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of leaks 
inside the appliance.

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. Use the special plastic 
elbow provided (see figure) 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.

Electrical Connection

First of all, check 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.
