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. 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.
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.
Installation instructions
CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY
Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with ¾”
gas thread, inserting the filter A supplied with the
dishwasher.
place with your hands and then complete by
tightening about ¼ of a turn with pliers.
In dishwashers equipped with the ACQUASTOP
device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded
ring.
The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply
exceeding 60°C
washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its
effectiveness. Make the connection to the domestic hot water supply using
the same procedure described for connecting to the cold water supply.
DRAIN CONNECTION
Insert the special hose into a waste
pipe with a diameter of at least
cm
, or into a siphon joint under the
sink; alternatively, place it over the
sink using the hose support
provided, but taking care not to
crush the hose or bend it
excessively. It is important to
prevent the hose from coming loose
and falling. For this purpose, the
plastic support is equipped with a
hole for tying it to the wall or water
tap. The free end should be
positioned at a height of between
and 100 cm,
submerged in water. If a horizontal
drain extension hose is used (for a
maximum of 3 m) the drain hose
can be placed at a maximum height
85 cm

User instructions
3. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
•
Adjust the water softening system;
•
Add the regenerating salt;
•
Add the rinse aid and detergent.
3.1 Using the water softening system
The amount of scale contained in the
water (water hardness index) can cause
whitish staining on the dry dishes, which
tend to become dull over time. The
dishwasher is equipped with an automatic
softening system which uses a special
regenerating salt to reduce the hardness
of the water.
The dishwasher is factory set for water
hardness level 3 (average hardness
41-60°dF – 24-31°dH
).
5#.6
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container
should be refilled after approximately

are equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap
of the salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt
concentration in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be
seen through the transparent cap, the container must be topped up with
regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the
dishwasher. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container
cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel
supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt
residues from around the opening.
• When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it
is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.
• Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is
securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never
penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation
of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the
warranty will be invalidated.
•
Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic
dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container
completely.
