Installation instructions
2. Installation and hook-up
Remove the polystyrene basket retainers.
Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other furniture units.
If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the special insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the appliance.
To ensure stability, install integrated or built-under dishwashers only under continuous worktops, and screw them to the adjacent units.
To facilitate the installation procedure, the intake and drain hoses can be positioned in any direction; make sure that the hoses are not kinked, crushed or pulled too tightly. A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power supply cable and pipes to pass.
Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.
Some models are equipped with only one adjustable foot at the rear, which can be adjusted by turning the screw on the lower front part of the appliance.
2.1Water supply connection
Preventing the risk of clogging or damage: if the water pipe is new or has not been used for a long time, before connecting to the water supply check that the water is clear and free of impurities, to prevent damage to the appliance.
The dishwasher must always be connected to the water system with new hoses; old or used hoses must never be reused.
CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY
Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with ¾” gas thread, inserting the filter A supplied with the dishwasher.
Take care to screw the hose firmly into place with your hands and then complete by tightening about ¼ of a turn with pliers. In dishwashers equipped with the ACQUASTOP device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded ring.
The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply not exceeding 60°C. Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its effectiveness. Make the connection to the domestic hot water supply using the same procedure described for connecting to the cold water supply.

Installation instructions
DRAIN CONNECTION
Insert the dishwasher’s drain hose into a drain pipe having a diameter of at least 4 cm, or alternatively,
place it inside the kitchen sink using the plastic support provided, taking care not to crush or excessively bend the hose. It is important to prevent the hose from coming loose and falling. For this purpose, the plastic support is equipped with a hole for tying it to the wall or water tap.
The free end should be positioned at a height of between 30 and 100 cm, and should never be
submerged in water.
If a horizontal drain extension hose is used (for a maximum of 3 m) the drain hose can be placed at a maximum height of 85 cm from the ground.
2.2Electrical connection
Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet, according to the instructions given in chapter "1. Safety and operating instructions".

SWITCHING OFF
The end of the washing program is signalled by a short intermittent beep and the appearance of “P0” on the DISPLAY.
ANNULLING THE PROGRAM IN PROGRESS
To annul the program being carried out, after opening the door select program "P0". When the door is closed the dishwasher will skip to the end of the program.
MODIFYING THE PROGRAM
To modify the current program, after opening the door select the new program. When the door is closed the dishwasher will start the new program automatically.
DELAYING THE PROGRAM
The start of the washing program can be delayed from a minimum of 1 hour to a maximum of 9 hours; this allows you to operate the dishwasher at the time of day of
your choice.
When the DELAYED START button (3) is pressed, the DISPLAY (7) will show first the duration of the program set and then the number of hours (9,8, …1) of delay with which it is to be started.
The 
symbol will remain until the start of the washing cycle, while the number of hours will disappear automatically if the keypad is not used for 5 seconds or if any other button except the DELAYED START button (3) is pressed.
When the door is closed the dishwasher will perform a pre-wash, after which the “program delay” set previously will start. To check the time left before the program starts, simply press the corresponding button once.
If it is necessary to open dishwasher door during the washing cycle, there will be a 1-minute delay before the program can be resumed.
After correctly closing the door, the washing program will start again from where it was interrupted. This operation may negatively affective the progress of the washing cycle.

SETTING THE WASHING PROGRAM AND SWITCHING ON
To select the most suitable program for the dishes to be washed refer to the table below, which indicates the most appropriate program according to dish type and degree of soiling.
After choosing the most suitable washing program using the table provided:
•press the ON/OFF key (1) and wait for the INFORMATION DISPLAY (7) to come on;
•press the PROGRAM SELECTION button (2) several times, until the INFORMATION DISPLAY (7) shows the number corresponding to the program of choice; close the door, the machine will automatically begin the washing program after the sounding of the acoustic device.
"P0" on the DISPLAY means that no washing program has been selected. This message remains until the PROGRAM SELECTION button (2) is pressed; at this point the number of the last program used will appear. Each time the button is pressed again, the program numbers will move on from that point forward.
All programming operations are accompanied by a short confirmatory beep; if you do not hear anything when you press a button, the function concerned is not available in the program selected.
