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.
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 (the angle of
inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). 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.
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 (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 figure ).
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 provided 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
Assistance ).
The water pressure must be within the values
indicated in the Technical data table ( see below ).
The hose should not be bent or compressed.
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.
- is provided with a
Water Stop
*
safety device, in other
words it has a water inlet hose that consists of a
transparent hose on the outside and a red hose on the
inside: both the hoses can withstand extremely high
pressure. If the internal hose breaks, the external hose
becomes a bright red colour and carries the water
instead, thus avoiding any leakage.
It is very important to check the external hose
regularly: if it is a bright red colour, it must be replaced
by an authorised technician as soon as possible ( see
Assistance ).
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be
cut as it contains live electrical parts.
