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.

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

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.

Installation instructions

The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply

exceeding 60°C

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 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

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 ground.
