Cold water connection
Connect the water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas) connector,
making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.A).
Some models are fitted with an "Aquastop" water supply hose
(see fig.B) in which the small filter is already housed in the
threaded end.
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the
water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken,
there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage
the appliance.
Positioning the appliance
Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the
sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain
hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
fig.A
Anti-Flooding protection
The dishwasher is equipped with a system that stops the supply of water in the event of a problem with the water
supply hose, or leaks within the unit, in order to prevent damage to your home. If for any reason the box
containing the electrical components happens to get damaged, remove the plug for the appliance from the
socket immediately. In order to guarantee that the anti-flooding feature operates properly, the "A" box with water
supply hose must be attached to the water supply tap as shown in fig.B. No other type of connection is acceptable.
The water supply hose must not, under any circumstances, be cut, as it contains electrical parts which are live.
If the length of the hose is not adequate to make a proper connection, the hose must be replaced with one which
is long enough. This hose is available upon request from specialised retailers and service center.
fig.B
Levelling the appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them in or out) to adjust the dishwasher,
making it level. In any case, the appliance should not be inclined more than 2˚. If the appliance is level, it
will help ensure proper performance.
Installation
Warning
The appliance is to be connected to the
water mains using new hose-sets and
that old hose-sets should not be reused.

Drain hose connection
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.C). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not
be immersed in water.
fig.C
Attention:
The connecting piece for syphon trap (U-bend) must be solidly
fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and
allowing water to spill outside the drain.
Electrical Connection
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home correspond to those
on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and that the electrical
system is correct for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket
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 similar like as they could cause overheating and
burns.
Caution:
The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be
done safely.
