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.

2.1 Water supply connection
