Installation

If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.

Connecting the water supply

Adaptation of the water supply for installation should only be performed by a qualified technician.

The water inlet and outlet hoses may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation.

Make sure the dishwasher does not bend or squash the hoses.

Connecting the water inlet hose

•To a 3/4” gas cold or hot water connection point (max.

60°C).

•Run the water until it is perfectly clear.

•Screw the inlet hose tightly into position and turn off the tap.

If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance).

The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical Data table - otherwise the dishwasher may be function properly.

Make sure the hose is not bent or compressed.

Connecting the water outlet hose

Connect the outlet hose to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 2 cm. (A)

The outlet hose connection must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm from the floor or surface where the dishwasher rests.

MAX 80 cm

MIN 40 cm

Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove the plastic plug (B).

Anti-flooding protection

To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher:

- is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!

Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

	Electrical connection
						EN
	Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make
	sure that:
	• The socket is earthed			and complies with current
	regulations;

•the socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance as shown on the data plate located on the inside of the door

(see chapter Description of the appliance);

•The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door.

•The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see Assistance). Do not use extension cables or multiple sockets.

The cable should not be bent or compressed.

If the power supply cable is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer or its authorised Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards. (See Assistance)

The Company shall not be held responsible for any incidents, if these regulations are not observed.

Positioning and levelling

1.Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.

2.Before recessing the dishwasher, stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation which may form.

3.Place the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop (see the Assembly instruction sheet).

4.To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and in an anticlockwise direction to decrease it. (see Building-in instruction sheet attached to the documentation)
