Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains
important information regarding the safe installation, use and
maintenance of the appliance.
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.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and
similar applications such as:
- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments;
- farm houses;
- by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments;
- bed and breakfast type environments.

Positioning and levelling

1. Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it
has not been damaged during transportation.
If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed
any further with the installation process.
2. Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or back
panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or even with
the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single

3. Position the dishwasher on a level and 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.

4. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the
appliance* on the central lower part of the dishwasher, turning
a hexagonal spanner (red color) with an opening of 8 mm in a
clockwise direction to increase the height or in an anticlockwise
direction to decrease the height.
Connecting the water and electricity
supplies
Connection to the water and electricity supplies should
only be performed by a qualified technician.
The dishwasher should not stand on top of the water hoses
or the electricity supply cable.
The appliance must be connected to the water supply
network using new hoses.
Do not use old hoses.
The water inlet and outlet hoses and the electricity supply cable
may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to
achieve the best possible installation.

Connecting the water inlet hose
• To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching
the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any
impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the
appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet
hose tightly onto a tap with a ¾ gas threaded connection.
• To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher
may be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if
you have a central heating system with radiators) provided
that it does not exceed a temperature of 60°C.
Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a
cold water supply.
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 ( see adjacent information ).
The hose should not be bent or compressed.
Connecting the water outlet hose
Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct
with a minimum diameter of 4 cm.
The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm
from the floor / surface where the dishwasher rests (A).
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.
Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety
device New Acqua Stop *, which guarantees anti-flooding
protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!
Under no circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut as
it contains live electrical parts.
