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. Make sure to tighten the locking ring-nut once the pipes have been placed in the direction required. A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power supply cable and pipes to pass. Before putting the dishwasher into its definitive position, turn on the water tap and check that there are no leaks from the tap connection, the dishwasher connection or the hose.

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.

Building-in a dishwasher underneath a hob is absolutely forbidden. Moreover, dishwashers may not be installed directly touching appliances

which are not conventional built-in kitchen appliances (e.g. fireplaces, stoves, etc.).

When installing the dishwasher in a compartment next to one or more other appliances, it is essential to comply with all the recommendations provided by the appliance’s manufacturer (minimum distances, installation procedures, etc.).

CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY

not exceeding

Installation instructions

2.1 Water 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.

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 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.

CONNECTION

30 and 100 cm

Class of protection against moisture

: IPX0

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

, 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.
