1. PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFETY AND USE
Attention!
These precautions are detailed for reasons of safety.
This section must be read carefully before installation and use.
Disposing of packaging
Never leave packaging residues unattended in the home. Separate waste packag-
ing materials by type and consign them to the nearest recycling centre.
Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) must not be left within reach
of children.
Disposing of old appliances
Once no longer in use, appliances must be rendered unusable: permanently
disarm the lock on the door (this will prevent children risking their lives by
locking themselves inside during play) and cut the power supply lead after
removing the plug from the socket.

2.2 POSITIONING AND LEVELLING
1. Place the appliance
in the chosen position.
2. Level the appliance
carefully in all directions with the aid of a
spirit level, adjusting
the height of the feet if
necessary. Once
done, fix the feet in
place with the locknuts
provided.
3. On appliances with adjustable rear feet, note that the rear of the appliance rests
on skids and not on the feet. Before inserting the appliance into its place between
the kitchen units, check that the rear feet are screwed fully in to prevent damage as
the appliance is shifted into position.
Once the appliance is in position in the kitchen, the height of the rear feet has to be
increased so that the appliance no longer stands on the skids. After adjusting the
rear feet, level the appliance and fix the front feet at the height required.

2.3 CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY
1. Check that the water supply pressure is in the following
range: 0,05-0,9MPa. With higher pressures, use a pressure
reducer.
2. Connect the cold water supply hose (blue screw collar)
to the cold water tap with ¾ gas threaded connector, taking
care to tighten firmly to prevent leaks. The water supply
hose must not be kinked or crushed and must not be
changed or cut. Threaded connections must only be tightened by hand.
3. When appliances are supplied with hot water, the intake water temperature must
not exceed 60°C and the hose with red screw collar must be connected to the hot
water supply tap.
Warning!
If the connection is made to new pipelines, or lines which have been out of use
for a long time, allow a considerable amount of water to flow out before connecting
the intake hose. This prevents any sand or other dirt from fouling the filters installed
in the appliance to protect the water intake valves.
The new intake hose supplied with the appliance must be used, and the old water
supply hose must not be used.
2.4 CONNECTING TO THE DRAIN
1. Insert the end of the drain hose into a drain pipe having inside diameter of at least
4 cm, at least 50 to 90 cm above floor level, or connect it securely (using the plastic
fitting on the elbow in the hose) to a sink or bathtub.
2. In all cases, check that the end of the drain hose is securely fixed to prevent the
repulsive force of the water from pushing it out of place.
Warning!
Avoid kinks or restrictions to ensure effective drainage.
Any drain hose extensions must be no more than 1 metre long, must be of the
same diameter and must be free from restrictions of all kinds.
The end of the drain hose must never be submerged in water.
