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* (
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.

Connecting the water 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.
Ensure that the new hose supplied is connected
and the old hose is disposed of safely.
Ensure the fill hose is only fitted to the cold
water supply. DO NOT overtighten the hose
connector, hand tight is sufficient.
Connecting the water inlet hose
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 (
• 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.
see figure
).
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.
Standpipe
Ensure that the hose is not pushed too far down the
standpipe.
If the end of your drain hose is fitted
with ‘retaining flaps*’, ensure they are
inserted fully into the standpipe. This
will prevent the pipe from jumping out
during installation and use.
DO NOT position the standpipe near an
electrical outlet.
ENSURE that the drain hose is not kinked and it
is routed as shown in the diagram.
The standpipe should have a bore of at least 38mm
(11/2”). It should be installed as shown, have a trap
fitted and must discharge into the same drain
system as your household sink.
It MUST NOT be connected to a surface water
drain.
If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a
specialist store or an authorised technician (
Assistance
The water pressure must be within the values
indicated in the Technical data table (
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.

Sink Waste System
For under sink drainage:
• 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
• the hose should be routed, such that it is raised
to a minimum height of 800mm (31/2”).
Ensure the sink outlet pipe has a minimum
diamtere of 32mm.
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
which guarantees anti-flooding 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.
