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.

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

).

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 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.

 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 (

 The hose should not be bent or compressed.

).

see below

).

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.

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 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

).

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.

- is provided with a

other words it has a water inlet hose that consists of
a transparent hose on the outside and a red hose on
the inside: both the hoses can withstand extremely
high pressure. If the internal hose breaks, the
external hose becomes a bright red colour and
carries the water instead, thus avoiding any leakage.

 It is very important to check the external hose
regularly: if it is a bright red colour, it must be
replaced by an authorised technician as soon as
possible (

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

replaced by authorised technicians only.
 The Company shall not be held responsible for any
incidents that occur if these regulations are not
observed.

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

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 (

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

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 approximately
2 kg of salt (
water may overflow: this is normal and is not a
cause for concern. It is also normal that the LOW
SALT* indicator light continues to flash for a few
cycles after the salt has been loaded.

qualified electrician.

Replacing the fuse

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA
approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used,
and the fuse cover re-fitted. If the fuse cover is lost,
the plug must not be used until a replacement is
obtained.

Replacemente fuse covers

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of
the correct colours as indicated by the coloured
marking or the colour that is embossed in words on
the base of the plug. Replacements can be obtained
directly from your nearest Service Depot.

Removing the plug

Ifyour appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug
and you should wish to remove it to re-route the
mains cable through partitions, units etc., please
esure that either:

- the plug is replaced by a fused 13 amp re-wireable

plug bearing the BSI mark of approval

or:

- the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp

cable outlet, controlled by a switch, (in
compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible
without moving the appliance.

Disposing of the plug:

Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you
make the pins unusable so that it cannot be
accidentally inserted into a socket.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may
not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminal in your plug, proceed as
