Installation

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.

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.

Cold Water Connection

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (gas)
connector, making sure that it is fastened tightly in place (see fig.

1).
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.

Hot Water Connection

The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the
house's hot water line (centralised system, heating system), as
long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60
In this case,the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15
minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced.
The connection must be made to the hot water line following the
same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water
line.

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. Use the special plastic support that comes with
the appliance (see fig.2). The free end of the hose must be at a
height between 40 and 100 cm and must not be immersed in
water.

fig.2

Attention:

The special plastic hose support 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 plug, rather than us­ing adaptors or the 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 safety.

Assembly Instructions for Integrated Dishwasher

GB

Mounting the Wooden Panel onto the Door and Slid­ing the Dishwasher into the Cabinet

During the preparatory stages for installing the dishwasher into
the kitchen cabinet, holes must not be drilled in the sides, or
door, in order to avoid compromising the performance and/or
operation of the appliance. Before working on any internal
components, the unit must be disconnected from the power
supply .The maximum dimensions for the wood panel that can
be installed on the door are: Height - 610 mm ( 725 mm for the
completely built-in version); Width - 598 mm; Thickness:20 mm.
The height dimension of 610 mm must be reduced if the height
of the control panel is increased through the use of the spacers.
In addition, the base must be trimmed if it interferes with the
opening of the door.

Using the Drilling Template (Fig.1)

Align the top edge of the template (identified with the “A” arrow )
with the top edge of the panel. On both sides of the template (top
and bottom ) are written the various dimensions that correspond
to the different possible widths for the panel. Align the template
with the side of the panel (left or right), making sure that the
panel coincides with the appropriate dimensions. Mark the posi­tions for the holes for the screws, using the tip of a drill or a
pencil. The three holes closest to the side should be used(B).
Repeat this step on the other side of the panel ,using the corre­sponding side of the template.

Mounting the Wood Door Panel onto the Dishwasher

Place the wood panel onto the door of the dishwasher. Then
perform the installation steps described below, based on whether
the panel is for a totally built-in model or integrated with the con­trol panel.

Totally Built- in Panel

Insert the top hooks into the appropriate slots in the dishwasher
control panel. Then push the panel upwards until it stops. After­wards , slide the panel downward again, moving the bottom of
the panel toward the door so that the fins on the brackets slide
into their slots (Fig.3).
In both cases, open the doors of the dishwasher (the panel
should stay in place by itself) and align the panel with the door,
keeping it in contact with the control panel. Remove the small
plastic plugs that cover the holes on the inside of the dishwasher
door and fasten the panel in place with the screws provided (Fig.

4). Remember to cover the two holes with the plastic plugs re­moved earlier.

Fastening the Bracket to the Wooden Panel (Fig.2)

At the point marked, drill holes 2 mm in diameter . If the panel is
made of chip board , only drill through the veneer. If the panel is
made of solid wood, the holes can be made deeper. Position the
two brackets so that they are lined up with the holes made in
the bottom part of the panel. The holes furthest to the outside
should be used to fasten the brackets. The small fins should be
turned downward. The hooks in the totally built-in version should
be screwed into the two holes at the top.
