Installation
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.
This appliance is intended to be used in household
and similar applications such as:
- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments;
- farm houses;
- by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments;
- bed and breakfast type environments.
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. 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 qualified 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.
Do not use old hoses.
The water inlet and outlet hoses and the electricity supply
cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in
order to achieve the best possible installation.
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.
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 ( see adjacent information).
The hose should not be bent or compressed.
Connecting the water outlet hose
Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct
with a minimum diameter of 4 cm.
The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80
cm from the floor / surface where the dishwasher rests (A).
Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain,
remove the plastic plug (B).
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 circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut
as it contains live electrical parts.
