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 notbe installeddirectly 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.).
For free-standing models only:
-Installing a hob on top of a free-standing dishwasher is absolutely forbidden.
-If the appliance is not built-in and is therefore accessible on one side, the door hinge area must be covered for safety
reasons (injury hazard). The covering fixtures are available as an accessory from specialist dealers or the After-Sales
Service.
- To build in the dishwasher, the special kit must be purchased from authorised dealers or the After-Sales Service.

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.
Thedishwashercan also be connected toa hotwatersupplynotexceeding 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.
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 and precautions
CHECK THAT THE VOLTAGE AND THE FREQUENCY OF THE MAINS MATCH THE RATINGS ON THE NAME PLATE OF THE APPLIANCE POSITIONED ON THE INNER EDGE OF THE DOOR.
THE PLUG ON THE SUPPLY CORD AND THE CORRESPONDING SOCKET OUTLET MUST BE OF THE SAME TYPE AND MEET THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE.
THE PLUG MUST BE ACCESSIBLE AFTER INSTALLATION.
NEVER DISCONNECT THE PLUG BY PULLING ON THE POWER SUPPLY LEAD.
"45 CM" MODELS ONLY (9-10 PLACE SETTING)
AFTER CHANGING THE SUPPLY CORD, MAKE SURE THAT THE BRACKET WHICH SECURES THE CORD IS FIXED SECURELY IN PLACE.
DO NOT USE ADAPTORS OR SHUNT CONNECTIONS IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF OVERHEATING OR BURNING.
In the event of damage to the supply cord, have it replaced by the manufacturer or an Authorized Technical Service Centre in order to avoid any risk.
Some components are live even with the ON/OFF button in the OFF position. Before maintenance work on the appliance, remove the plug or turn off the power supply at the wall switch.
IF THE APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH A PLUGLESS SUPPLY CORD:
AN OMNIPOLAR CIRCUIT BREAKER IN OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION CLASS III MUST BE INSTALLED IN AN EASILY ACCESSIBLE POSITION ON THE POWER SUPPLY LINE.
THE CONNECTION TO THE MAINS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE TO THE SCHEME SHOWN BELOW AND THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE.

Notice for testing institutes
Testing institutes are provided with guidelines for comparative tests (e.g. according to AS/NZS 2007). request the guidelines by contacting us at the following
e-mail address: dishwasher@test-domestic-appliances.com
When making a request, please specify the model (MOD) and the serial number (S/N) indicated on the plate on the side of the door.
3.2Washing programs
Before starting a washing program make sure that:
The water supply tap is open.
The correct amount of detergent has been added to the dispenser.
The baskets have been correctly loaded.
The spray arms are able to rotate freely and without obstruction.
The dishwasher door is securely closed.
Warning:
during the initial phase of the washing program, the operation of sprayers is not perceived because they start rotating about 5 minutes after the start. This is the normal operation of the washing cycle.
SPREAD HALF LOAD
Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy and reduces the program duration. Place dishes in both baskets then load the detergent dispenser than less than the normal amount for a full load.
PROGRAM DELAY
The start of the program can be delayed by 3, 6 or 9 hours.
This allows you to set the dishwasher to work at the times of day most convenient to you. After setting the program, press the button to select the delay you require; the corresponding light will come on. When the door is closed, the appliance will prewash the dishes, after which the "program delay" set will come into effect. If you wish to exit the procedure without setting delayed start, press the button in sequence until all three lights are out.
N.B.: It is not possible to select the PROGRAM DELAY option once the cycle has begun.
