Cold water connection
Connect the water supply hose to a standard threaded water
outlet connector, making sure that it is fastened tightly in place
(see fig.1).
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the
water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not
taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and
damage the appliance.
Positioning the appliance
Positioning the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the
sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain
hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
fig.1
Levelling the appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screwing them
in or out) to adjust the dishwasher, making it level. In any case,
the appliance should not be inclined more than 2˚. If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper performance.
Installation
Warning
The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new
hose-sets and that old hose-sets should not be reused.
en
NOTE:
The minimum water pressure is 0.03 Megapascals.
The maximum water pressure is0.6 Megapascals.

Drain hose connection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm, or let it run into the sink, making
sure to avoid bending or crimping it. If necessary, fit a syphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for
the drain hose (fig.2). The free end of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm and must not
be immersed in water.
fig.2
Attention:
The connecting piece for syphon trap (U-bend) must be solidly
fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and
allowing water to spill outside the drain.
Electrical Connection
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in the home correspond to those
on the rating plate (located on the stainless steel inner door of the appliance) and that the electrical
system is correct for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket
which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is a safety requirement mandated by law).
If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace
the whole cable, rather than using adaptors as they could cause overheating and risk of fire.
Caution:
The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when the appliance is installed as a built-in unit so that maintenance can be
done safely.

100 cm

The appliance must be connected to a 220-240 volts 50 cycle AC supply by means of a three pin
socket, suitably earthed and should be protected by a 13 amp fuse in the plug or a 15 amp fuse in the
consumer unit.
The appliance is supplied with a moulded 13 amp 3 pin mains plug fitted with a 13 amp fuse. Should
the fuse require replacement, it must be replaced with a fuse rated at 13 amp and approved to BS1362.
The plug contains a removable fuse cover that must be refitted when the fuse is replaced. In the event
of the fuse cover being lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover has been
obtained.
If the moulded mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home or is removed for any other
reason, then the fuse should be removed and the cut off plug disposed of safely to prevent the hazard
of electric shock.
There is a danger of electric shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket outlet.

Salt
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits
will form on the dishes and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime
and minerals from the water.
How to fill the salt container
Loading the salt into the container
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
Remove the lower rack and then unscrew and remove
the cap from the salt container;
If you are filling the container for the first time, fill it with
water;
Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and
introduce about 2 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount
of water to come out of the salt container.
Carefully screw the cap back on.
Important
To prevent the formation of rust, load the salt just before beginning a
wash cycle.
