1. Water connection

- Connection to the mains water supply must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with
the manufacturer's instructions and applicable local safety regulations.

- All local water board regulations must be complied with. Water supply pressure: 0.03 - 1.0 MPa.

- The inlet hose must be securely clamped to the water tap to prevent leaks.

- The inlet water temperature varies according to the model installed. Inlet hose marked: "25°C Max":
up to a maximum of 25°C. Other models: up to a maximum of 60°C.

- Depending on the appliance model, the solenoid valve of the inlet hose will be activated by the mains
voltage (see assembly instructions).

- Make sure the inlet and drain hoses are kink-free and are not crushed.

- Fix the drain hose to the siphon with a clamp to prevent it from coming off during operation.

- When installing the appliance, make sure water can drain freely (remove the siphon plug if necessary).

- Do not use old or damaged hoses. Use only the hoses provided or new ones, which can be requested
from the After-Sales Service.

- If hoses are not long enough, contact your local dealer.

- Do not cut hoses and, in the case of appliances fitted with a waterstop system, do not immerse the
plastic casing containing the inlet hose in water.

- Before using the appliance for the first time, check the water inlet and drain hose for leaks.

- After appliance installation, the mains plug must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be
unplugged if necessary at any time.

- Attention: when transporting and assembling the appliance, always wear gloves to protect

fingers / hands from sharp edges and corners.

- If the appliance is installed at the end of a row of units, making the side panel accessible, the hinge area
must be covered to prevent any risk of crushing (cover available from After-sales Service ).

- Be careful with uneven installation surfaces: Carefully push the dishwasher with feet unscrewed under
the worktop.

- After fitting the plinth and decor panel and before opening the door, evaluate whether the plinth needs
to be cut and, if so, how much (see assembly instructions) in order to avoid any damage.

- The sharp edges of the unit and the plinth must be protected from humidity (with insulating material,
for example silicone, not included with the appliance).
