Installation

 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 (

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.

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 (

 The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical data table (

 The hose should not be bent or compressed.

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 (

Connecting the water inlet hose

• To a suitable cold water connection point: before

see figure

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

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 (

Connecting the water outlet hose

Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4 cm. Alternatively, rest it over a sink or tub; the free end of the hose should not remain immersed in water.

The special plastic elbow* makes it easier to find the best layout: fix the elbow to the wall securely in order to prevent the outlet hose from moving and spilling the dirty water. The part of the hose marked with the letter A

should be between 40 and 100 cm above the ground

 We advise against the use of hose extensions.

Electrical connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:

• the socket is earthed and complies with current regulations;

• the socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of the door (

Description of the appliance

);

see

• the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door;

• the socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (

Assistance

); do not use extension cables or

multiple sockets.

 Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.

 The cable should not be bent or compressed.

 The cable should be checked regularly and

replaced by authorised technicians only (

incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed.

Anti-condensation strip*

After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation that may form.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle

After the appliance has been installed, immediately before running the first wash cycle, completely fill the salt dispenser with water and add approximately 2 kg of salt (

see Rinse aid and refined salt

). The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. It is also normal that the LOW SALT* indicator light continues to flash for a few cycles after the salt has been loaded.
