Installation

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.

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.

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 (

The water pressure must be within the values indicated in

the Technical data table (

The hose should not be bent or compressed.

see adjacent information

see Assistance

Connecting the water outlet hose

Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4 cm.

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. Do not use old hoses.

The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm from the floor / surface where the dishwasher rests (A). Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove the plastic plug (B).

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 protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.

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

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!

*, which guarantees anti-flooding

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.

* Only available in selected models.

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 (

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 ( multiple sockets.

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply

cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.

ECODESIGN REGULATION

ECO wash cycle is the standard cycle to which the energy label data refers; this cycle can be used to wash crockery with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of energy and water consumption for this type of crockery. To reduce consumption even further, only run the dishwasher when it is full. Standby consumption: Left-on mode consumption: 3,5 W – Off mode consumption: 1,3 W
