Installation
EN
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for 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.
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
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. 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.
*. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the
4
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.
* (see the Assembly instruction sheet).
Connecting the water and electricity
supplies
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.
The appliance must be connected to the water supply
network using new hoses.
Connecting the water inlet hose
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 supplied 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 Assistance).
The water pressure must be within the values indicated in
the Technical data table (see adjacent information).
The hose should not be bent or compressed.
Anti-flooding protection
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 anti-
flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
Never use old or second hand hose sets. Do not reuse
hose sets from any previously installed dishwasher.
The water inlet (A) and outlet (B) hoses and the electricity
supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left
in order to achieve the best possible installation (see figure).
2
Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut as it
contains live electrical parts.
* Only available in selected models.
Connecting the water outlet hose
Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct
with a minimum diameter of 4 cm. Alternatively, rest it over a
sink or tub; the free end of the hose should not remain
immersed in water.
The special plastic elbow
A
makes it easier to find the
best layout: fix the elbow to
the wall securely in order to
prevent the outlet hose from
moving and spilling the dirty
water.
The part of the hose marked
with the letter A should be
between 40 and 100 cm
above the ground (see figure).
We advise against the use of hose extensions.
*
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 chapter entitled 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 Assistance); 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 Assistance)
The Company shall not be held responsible for any
incidents that occur if these regulations are not observed.
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 which 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).

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

Loading the racks
Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from
the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.
After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms
can rotate freely.
Lower rack
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls,
cutlery, etc. as seen in the Loading examples.
Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the
rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper
sprayer arm.
Some dishwasher
models are fitted
with tip-up
sections
can be used in a
vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal
position when arranging pans and salad bowls.
*, which
Cutlery basket
The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the
dishwasher model: it may be modular, non-modular or a sliding
version. The non-modular basket must only be positioned at
the front of the lower rack.
The modular basket may be separated into two parts, a solution
which is recommended when performing a half load wash (only
in models offering this option), is available in a sliding version
(positioned at any point on the lower rack by sliding it between
the fixed or tip-up inserts.
- Both versions are fitted
with a collapsible sliding
system which means
the cutlery can be
arranged in the best
possible way.
Tilt A Tilt B Tilt C
- Lift the tip-up compartment, slide it gently and position it in the
desired tilt angle.
Adjusting the height of the upper rack
In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper
rack may be moved to a higher or lower level.
(in models which offer the Baby cycle, the upper rack must be
placed in its lower position when the appliance is being loaded).
The height of the upper rack should ideally be adjusted
WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.
Never lift or lower the rack on one side only.
Open the left and right guide rail stops
and pull out the rack; position it higher
or lower as required, slide it along the
guide rails until the front wheels are in
place and close the stops (see figure).
If the rack is fitted with Dual Space

Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed
in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards, or they
must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on
the upper rack.
