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 dis hwashers 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 dis hwasher.
Building-in a dishwasher underneath a ceramic hob is
absolutely
forbidden

A dishwasher can b e b uilt-in underneath a conventional hob provided
