Installation

Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for

EN

future reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or

 

 

moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the

 

machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the

 

advice contained within it.

 

 

Please read this instruction manual carefully: it

 

 

 

contains important information regarding the safe

 

installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.

 

 

If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it

 

 

 

in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be

 

tilted onto its back.

 

 

This appliance is intended to be used in household

 

 

 

and similar applications such as:

 

- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working

 

environments;

 

- farm houses;

 

- by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type

 

environments;

 

- bed and breakfast type environments.

Positioning and levelling

1.Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transportation.

If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.

2.Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or

even with the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop* (see the Assembly instruction

sheet).

3.Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position (the angle of inclination must not exceed 2 degrees). If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.

4*. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the appliance* on the central lower part of the dishwasher, turning a hexagonal spanner (red color) with an opening of 8 mm in a clockwise direction to increase the height or in an anticlockwise direction to decrease the height.

Anti-condensation strip*

After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation that may form.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle

After the appliance has been installed, immediately before running the first wash cycle, completely fill the salt dispenser with water and add only then approximately 1 kg of salt (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. Select the water hardness value (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). - After the salt has been poured into the machine, the LOW SALT indicator light* switches off.

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result.

The dishwasher meets the requirements set out by the regulations in force concerning safety and electrical equipment.

Any technical checks should be conducted exclusively by a trained and authorised technician: Repairs carried out by unaithorised persons will invalidate the guarantee, as well as posing a potential hazard to the user.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or property resulting from failure to observe the above precautions, from tampering with even a single component or from the use of non-original spare parts.

Electrical Connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:

the socket is earthed and complies with current regulations;

the socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of the door (see Description of the appliance);

the power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door;

the socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see After Sales Service); do not use extension cables or multiple sockets.

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.

The cable should not be bent or compressed.

If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards. (See After Sales Service)

Connecting the water supplies

EN

Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician.

The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses or the electricity supply cable.

Connecting the water inlet hose

The water inlet and outlet hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation.

To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection.

To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be provided with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C.

Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply.

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see After Sales Service).

The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical data table (see Installation).

The hose should not be bent or compressed.

The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using new hoses.

Do not use old hoses.

Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected and the old hose is disposed of safely.

DO NOT overtighten the hose connector, hand tight is sufficient.

Ensure the fill hose is not kinked.

Tap connections*: A range of adaptors are available to suit your tap.

DO NOT connect the dishwasher to a single outlet instantaneous water heater or an electric heater.

Sink Waste System

Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 32 mm.

The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm (from 15’’ to 31’’) from the floor / surface where the dishwasher rests (A).

before connecting the drain hose, remove any internal restrictions; this will prevent a build up of debris which could cause a blockage

remove any restrictions from the waste spigot and ensure that the sealing bung is removed (B).

It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water drain.

• Untie the end of the GREY drainage hose from the rear of the appliance.

• If fitting an under sink waste disposal unit, cut out the membrane, bung or blanking plug.

Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, to prevent it coming away while the machine is in use and causing a flood.

Fit hose to waste securely using a “Jubilee” type clip.

* Only available in selected models.

Anti-flooding protection*

EN

To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:

- is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.

Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety device New Acqua Stop*, which guarantees antiflooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!

Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed.

* Only available in selected models.
