Installation
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.
Cold Water Connection
Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas)
connector, inserting the small
filter supplied with the
dishwasher and making sure
that it is fastened tightly in place
(see figure 2).
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.
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.
Caution
: the dishwasher plug must be accessible even when
the appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance
can be done safely.
Should the electricity supply cable be damaged, we
recommend that you only contact authorised Technical Service
Centres for the replacement.
Condensation-proof tape.
On some models, a transparent condensation-proof adhesive
tape has been provided.
It should be stuck onto the lower side of your wooden worktop
to protect it from the formation of condensation.
When not provided, this tape can be requested as a spare
part from authorised retailers.
