energy and water consumption levels.
- If the load is smaller than usual activate
the Half Load option
and options, if available).

Installation
GB
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. Position the dishwasher on a level 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.
2. Before recessing the dishwasher, stick the adhesive
transparent strip* under the wooden shelf in order to protect
it from any condensation which may form.
3. Place the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in
contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance
can also be recessed under a single worktop*
Assembly instruction sheet)
4*. To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal
bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher
using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the
spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and
in an anticlockwise direction to decrease it.
.

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.
(see the
(see Building-in
The water pressure must be within the values indicated
in the Technical Data table - otherwise the dishwasher may
be function properly.
Make sure the hose is not bent or compressed.
Connecting the water outlet hose
Connect the outlet hose to a drain duct with a minimum
diameter of 2 cm. (A)
The outlet hose connection must be at a height ranging from
40 to 80 cm from the floor or surface where the dishwasher
rests.
MAX 80 cm
MIN 40 cm
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 New Acqua Stop*, which guarantees antiflooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be
cut as it contains live electrical parts.
Connecting the water supply
Adaptation of the water supply for installation should only
be performed by a qualified technician.
The water inlet and outlet hoses may be positioned towards
the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible
installation.
Make sure the dishwasher does not bend or squash the
hoses.
Connecting the water inlet hose
• To a 3/4” gas cold or hot water connection point (max.
60°C).
• Run the water until it is perfectly clear.
• Screw the inlet hose tightly into position and turn off the
tap.

aid and refined salt).
First load the softener tank with water, then introduce about
1 kg of salt. It is perfectly normal for water to flow out.
As soon as this procedure is complete, run a wash cycle.
Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.
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.
