Installation

Positioning the appliance

Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back should r es t against the wall behind it, and the
sides , along the adja cent ca binet s or wall. The d ish wash er is equ ipp ed wi th w ater supp ly an d dr ain
hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.

Levelling the appliance

Once the applia nce is pos itioned , adj ust t he feet (sc rewing th em in o r out ) to adj ust the dis hwas her,
making it level. In any case, the appliance sh ould not be inclined more than 2˚. If the appliance is lev el, it
will help ensure proper performance.

Cold wat er connect ion

Connect the water supply hose t o a threaded 3/4” bsp c on nector,
making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.A).
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an ex-
tended per iod of t im e, let the wat er run to mak e sure t hat t he
water is c lea r a nd free of i m purities. If this p r eca u t ion is not taken,
there is a risk that the water inle t can get bloc ke d and damage
the appliance.

The appl ianc e is to be conne cted t o the wat er mains us ing ne w hose -s ets and t hat old
hose-sets should not be reused. Water pres su r e 0.03-1.0MP a. A P r es su re limiting valve is
required where water pressure exceeds 1.0MPa.

fig.A

Drain hose co nnect ion

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm , or let it run into the sink, making
sure to avoid bending or crimping it. If necessary, fit a syphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for
the drain hose (fig.B). The fr ee end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100c m and m ust not
be immerse d i n w at e r.

fig.B2

The connecting piece for syphon t rap (U-bend) must be s olidly fas t ened to the wall to
prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill outside the drain.

Electrical Co nn ection

After making sure that the voltage and frequenc y v alues for the c ur r ent in the home cor r esp ond to those
on the rat ing plate ( locate d on the stainl ess steel inne r door of the ap plianc e) and that t he elec tric al
system is correc t f or the max imum v olt age on t he r ating plate, insert the plug into an ele ctri cal s oc ket
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 whole cable, rather than using adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.

The dishwasher plug must be accessible ev e n when the appliance is ins talled as a built­in unit so that maintenance can be done safely.
