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.
4. Adjust the height of the rear feet from the front of
the appliance*: use a screwdriver to tighten or
loosen the screws on the lower part of the
dishwasher.
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 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).
