INSTALLATION (Technical notes for cabinet fitters)

This dishwasher model can be embedded in modular furniture, under a counter top, a continuous counter top or a sink.

■ The housing dimensions must be the

same as those indicated in the figure 1.

■ The adjustable feet allow the height of the machine to be varied from 818 to 898 mm.

■ Once the height of the dishwasher has been defined, it is necessary to fix a 13 mm long screws "A" in the bottom-frame. This should only be done on the front feet, as indicated in the figure 4a.

Installation under the counter top

■ Apply the steam protection adhesive tape under the counter top when it is made of chipboard or of any other non-waterproof material (fig. 2).

■ Insert the dishwasher in the housing "A" then adjust the height and level it by means of the adjustable feet (fig. 2-3).

■ To allow for easy adjustment of the appliance when it is fitted into the cavity, SOME MODELS are fitted with an adjustable foot located centrally at the rear. This can be adjusted by turning a screw located at the bottom of the front panel of the machine, as illustrated in fig. 4b.

power following the instruction booklet.

■ You should secure the dishwasher into the housing unit. It is possible to do this in the following ways:

- THROUGH THE ADJOINING HOUSING UNIT with the supplied 16 mm long screws "B" (as indicated in the figure 5).

- TO THE WORKTOP (if possible) with the supplied 30 mm long screws "C" (as indicated in the figure 5a).

■ Fasten the two supplied frames with 4 of the 4 x 16 mm diameter screws, setting them at the center of the eyelets (fig. 7).

■ Hang the panel on the dishwasher door and align it by adjusting the frames with the eyelets.

■ Fix the frames with the other 6 screws 4x16 mm in the specif holes (fig. 7).

Wooden panel installation

This dishwasher model is equipped with an auto-balancing system in the door and comes ready to mount a wooden panel of the following size:

Width 596,5 mm max Height from 645 to 720 mm max Thickness from 18 to 22 mm max This allows the use of a regular wing taken

from a drawer furniture weighing from 3 to 8 kg; for coverings weighing more, ask for information to the Assistance Service.

N.B.: If you wish to fit a wooden panel with false drawer, ask for special kit to the Assistance Service.

Drilling arrangements

■ Drill 12 mm deep holes in the panel using a 2 mm diameter drill according to the measures indicated in the figure 6.

■ Fasten the panel to the dishwasher door

with the screws 3.5 x 13 mm (fig. 8).

620 min.

Adaptation of the base

Sometime, in order to allow the door rotation, a space must be cut out in the base as indicated in the figure 9.

Proceed as follows:

■ Open slightly the dishwasher door, let the covering touch the base and mark its

lower edge on the base with a pencil; cut out the interfering part.

FOR MODELS FITTED WITH CANTILEVERED HINGES the rotation requires only a 3 mm space therefore normally no cut out is required as shown in fig. 9a.

WATER CONNECTION

IMPORTANT The appliance must be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused.

■ The inlet and drain hoses can be directed to left or right.

IMPORTANT The dishwasher can be connected to either cold or hot water, as long as it is no hotter than 60°C.

■ Water pressure must be between

0,08 MPa and 0,8 MPa.

■ The inlet hose must be connected to a

tap so that the water supply can be cut off when the machine is not in use

(fig. 1 B).

■ The dishwasher is fitted with 3/4" threaded

connector (fig. 2).

■ Connect inlet hose “A” to water tap “B”

with a 3/4" attachment making sure that it has been properly tightened.

■ If it is necessary, the inlet pipe can be

lengthened up to 2,5 m. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.

■ If the dishwasher is connected to new

pipes or to pipes which have not been in use for a long time run water through for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. In this way no deposits of sand or rust will clog up the water inflow filter.

Connecting the outlet hose

■ The outlet hose should disharge into a standpipe, making sure that there are no kinks (fig. 4).

■ The standpipe must be at least 40 cm above floor level and it must have an internal diameter of at least 4 cm.

■ It is advisable to fit an anti-odour air trap (fig. 4X).

■ If necessary the outlet hose can be extended up to 2,5 m, provided that it is kept at a maximum height of 85 cm above floor level. The extension pipe is available from the After Sales Service Centre.

■ The hose can be hooked over the side of the sink, but it must not be immersed in water, in order to prevent water from being syphoned back to the machine when this is in operation (fig. 4Y).

■ When installing the appliance under a worktop the hose pipe clamp must be attached to the wall in the highest possible position under the worktop (fig. 4Z).

■ Check that there are no kinks in the inlet and outlet hoses.

LOADING THE SALT

■ The appearance of white stains on dishes is generally a warning sign that the salt container needs filling.

■ The salt dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5 and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of the appliance, it should be refilled from time to time according to the regulation of the water softener unit.

■ On the bottom of the machine there is a container for the salt for regenerating the softener.

■ It is important to use only a salt that is specifically designed for dishwasher. Other types of salt contain small quantities of insoluble particles which over a long period of time may affect and deteriorate the softener performance.

■ To add salt, unscrew the cap of the container on the bottom and then refill the container.

■ During this operation a little water will overflow; but keep adding salt until the container is full. When the container is full, clean the thread of salt residue and retighten the tap.

■ After loading the salt, it is recommended running a complete washing cycle, or COLD RINSE programme.

IMPORTANT After loading the salt, YOU MUST run a complete washing cycle, or the PRE-WASH/COLD RINSE/REFRESH programme.

IMPORTANT (Only for first start up) When the appliance is used for the first time, after completely filling the salt container, it is necessary to add water until the container overflows.
