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.
