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.

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.

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 flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.

*, which guarantees anti-

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 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).

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!

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

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). machine, the LOW SALT indicator light

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the

heating element may be damaged as a result.
