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.
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 After Sales Service
).
).
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.
4. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the
appliance
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.

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

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
).
see chapter entitled Description of
• 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 After Sales
Service)
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 (
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 (
refined salt
). - After the salt has been poured into the machine,
see chapter entitled Rinse aid and
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.

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 W – Off mode consumption: 1,3 W
