Installation
Keep this instructions 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 bene
fi
t 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
fl
oor. If the
fl
oor 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.
4*. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the
appliance* on the central lower part of the dishwasher, turning
a hexagonal spanner (red color) with an opening of 8 mm in a
clockwise direction to increase the height or in an anticlockwise
direction to decrease the height.
Connecting the water and electricity
supplies
Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only
be performed by a quali
fi
ed technician.
The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses
or the electricity supply cable.
The appliance must be connected to the water supply
network using new hoses.
Never use old or second hand hose sets. Do not reuse hose
sets from any previously installed dishwasher.
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
fi
gure).
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 supplied 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.
It 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 adjacent information).
The hose should not be bent or compressed.
Anti-
fl
ooding protection
To ensure
fl
oods 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-
fl
ooding 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.
* Only available in selected models.
