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, fi t 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.

panel while the door is being opened or closed.
Never open the door of the appliance with the bottom drawer partially or
completely open - If the bottom of the cabinet in which the appliance is builtin contains a drawer, make sure that it is completely closed before opening
the dishwasher door. Opening the door with the bottom drawer partially or
