Installation instructions
2. Installation and hook-up
Remove the polystyrene basket retainers. Position the appliance in the
desired place of installation. The back or sides of the dishwasher may be
placed up against walls or other furniture units. If the dishwasher is
installed near a heat source, fit the special insulating panel to prevent
overheating and malfunction of the appliance. To ensure stability, install
integrated or built-under dishwashers only under continuous worktops,
and screw them to the adjacent units. To facilitate the installation
procedure, the intake and drain hoses can be positioned in any direction;
make sure that the hoses are not kinked, crushed or pulled too tightly.
Make sure to tighten the locking ring-nut once the pipes have been
placed in the direction required. A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is
required to allow the power supply cable and pipes to pass.
Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation
is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is
absolutely
forbidden
. Building-in a dishwasher underneath a ceramic hob is
absolutely forbidden
.
A dishwasher can be built-in underneath a conventional hob provided
there is
no break
in the kitchen worktop, and the dishwasher and hob
are
installed and secured correctly
, so that
no hazards are
generated
.
For free-standing models only:
if the appliance is not built-in and is
therefore accessible on one side, the door hinge area must be covered
for safety reasons (injury hazard).
The covering fixtures are available as an accessory from specialist
dealers or the After-Sales Service.
Some models are equipped with only one adjustable foot at the rear,
which can be adjusted by turning the screw on the lower front part of the
appliance.
2.1 Water supply connection
Preventing the risk of clogging or damage:
if the water pipe is new or
has not been used for a long time, before connecting to the water supply
check that the water is clear and free of impurities, to prevent damage to
the appliance.
The dishwasher must always be connected to the water system
with new hoses; old or used hoses must never be reused.
