Installation
A
Positioning the Appliance
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should
rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the
adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with
water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the
right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
Levelling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing
them in or out) to adjust the height of the dishwasher, making
it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined
more than 2°.
If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper perfor-
mance.
This dishwasher model can be built under a single worktop
(please read the relevant instruction sheet).
Cold Water Connection
This electric household appliance 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 to a threaded 3/4 (gas)
threaded connection, taking care to screw it tightly onto the
tap.
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.
Hot Water Connection
The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to
the house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system),
as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60° C.
In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about
15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.
The connection must be made to the hot water line following
the same procedures as those for the connection to the cold
water line.
Anti-flooding protection
Your dishwasher is provided with a special system which blocks
the water supply in the event of leaks inside the appliance. It
is further equipped with a water inlet hose comprising an
outer clear hose and an inner red hose, which can both with-
stand extremely high pressures. Should the inner hose break,
the outer hose will consequently turn red. Safety in the event
of flooding is ensured by the second clear hose that contains
the former. It is vital that you check the outer hose regularly:
if you see it has turned bright red, then you know you have to
replace it as soon as possible. Call for an authorised technical engi-
neer to come
and replace it.
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.
Attention
: The special plastic hose support must be solidly
fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving
and allowing water to spill outside the drain.
Electrical Connection
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for
the current in the home correspond to those on the rating
plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the
appliance) and that the electrical system is sized for the
maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an
electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing of
the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law). If
the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected
is not appropriate for the plug, replace the plug, rather than
using adpators or the like as they could cause overheating
and burns.
Should the electricity supply cable be damaged, we
recommend that you only contact authorised Technical Service
Centres for the replacement.
